In 2009, 19-year-old Annie Thorisdottir showed up on the dusty hillside of Aromas, Calif., and quickly established herself as a force to be reckoned with. She had only a few months of CrossFit behind her, yet a childhood of competitive gymnastics (leading up to her qualification for the Icelandic National Team at 15 years old) and some experience in competitive pole vaulting. It took until her third Games before she won the title, but her natural ability and exceptional background was clear from the start.
