The 2023 Fittest Woman on Earth joins a growing list of athletes who won’t participate.
Add 2023 CrossFit Games champion Laura Horvath to the list of athletes who have chosen to withdraw from this year’s competition in the aftermath of the tragic death of Lazar Đukić during Event 1 on Thursday.
The major storyline in the women’s division this year was Tia-Clair Toomey-Orr vs. Horvath, but following yesterday’s events, the situation has changed dramatically.
In a post shared on Instagram, Horvath, her brother Kristof Horvath, and Jamie and Elliot Simmonds wrote:
Worth noting: While every athlete has been affected by Đukić’s death, the European athletes have been the most vocal in their public statements.
The big picture: The decision to compete or not has, understandably, become a polarizing one amongst this year’s athletes. And as Dahlstrøm said, the decision isn’t an easy one.
“Mentally and emotionally I am not fit to compete. However, do I best show my respect and honor Lazar and his family by stepping on that competition floor or do I show it by not stepping on the floor? I don’t know,” Dahlstrøm wrote on Instagram.
Similarly, Brent Fikowski, who has chosen to competeprovided some perspective about what the athletes are going through in his post on Instagram Friday, saying: “I’ll continue to compete this weekend at the CrossFit Games…His memory is hanging over all the athletes and we’re all dealing with this in different ways. I hope that how we all choose to deal with this won’t drive any of us apart.”
