Katrin Davidsdottir, 2x Fittest Woman on Earth, has revealed she will have to cut her CrossFit season short due to a back injury that she has been fighting for years.
Katrin Davidsdottir is one of the most decorated female athletes from Iceland. Having won the CrossFit Games twice (2015 and 2016), every year begins with the chance of her getting to the podium. At least making it to the Games – she missed out on her chance in 2022 by finishing 3rd at the Last Chance Qualifier, but, besides that, she made it to the end and always finished in the top 10 worldwide since winning the crown in 2015.
CrossFit Games Placement:

| 2017 | 5th |
| 2016 | 1st |
| 2015 | 1st |
However, this year we won’t be able to cheer her on during the Finals as she revealed an old-time injury that she cannot shake it off.

It’s with a heavy heart that I share that I will not be able to compete in this 2024 CrossFit Games season. I’ve been dealing with back injuries pretty much my whole career, but this year will be the first one that I am not able to fight my way through ❤️🩹
It breaks my heart that this is the end of my season. Those who know me, know there are few things that light me up as much as being out on the competition floor & being in the pursuit of my full potential ✨ I have an incredible team around me that I have been leaning on through this & I find tremendous peace in the fact that we tried everything we could to keep my season alive, but it just wasn’t in the cards for me this year. So as heavy as this feels right now, I do feel an immense amount of relief in knowing I can finally take time to work on getting healthy & healing my back.
It takes a village, and I feel so lucky to have a great one behind me, you all mean more to me than I can possibly communicate 🫶🏼
I want to wish my fellow competitors a healthy and hard fought season. I will miss being out there in the arena with you!!! ❤️🔥
Love always,
– Kat 🐺❤️🔥 xxx
