The 2013 Fittest Woman on Earth® Sam Briggs will stop officially competing following the current 2022 CrossFit season. Sam’s withdrawal from the sport comes after a very long and successful career, as she is turning 40-years-old in a few weeks. However, Sam will probably get one last chance to push for a significant result in the
2022 CrossFit Games
, and finish her career in style. 

The news of Sam Briggs’ retirement came as a post on her official Instagram account. Sam gave only a few thoughtful sentences, but she will definitely give a full farewell speech on her last competition.

“It’s because I have had so much fun [that] it’s hard to finally step away from this sport. I like to think of it as grit and not stubbornness… When I started CrossFit back in 2009, I had no idea what a crazy ride I’d be on.”
