Katrin Davidsdottir burst onto the CrossFit scene in 2012. A native of Reykjavik, Iceland, Davidsdottir grew up a gymnast with the perfect athletic background to excel in CrossFit. After seeing another Icelandic woman win the Games in 2011 – Annie Thorisdottir – Davidsdottir was all in.
In 2015, Davidsdottir bounced back in the newly formed Meridian region. She credits training with Thorisdottir for the extra push – but it wasn’t just fitness that developed between herself and Thorisdottir.
Davidsdottir did not compete in the 2024 season due to a back injury, and the last time we saw her at the Games was in 2023 when she finished seventh, including an impressive second-place finish in the final event. She has competed in every CrossFit Open since 2012, and during the Regionals era, she competed there for seven straight years. She won twice.
What happens when a sled dog leaves her pack? The pack misses them – misses their strength, their leadership, their personality. But the pack survives and is stronger for having them be part of it. CrossFit is stronger because Katrin was a part of it.
