With the withdrawals of Video games athletes after Lazar Đukić’s loss of life in Fort Price, the rumors of a brand new season construction for 2025, and far of the neighborhood ready on the outcomes of the third-party investigation, there may be each purpose below the solar to clarify why CrossFit hasn’t launched an up to date worldwide rating since June.
That stated, we went forward and up to date it for them — unofficially, in fact. Listed here are the highest 15 ladies because it at present stands.

On the ladies’s aspect, Gabi Migała, who positioned second on the 2024 CrossFit Video games, is the brand new factors chief to finish the 2024 season.
- Migała was third going into the Video games, as listed on CrossFit’s present rankings, however leapfrogged Laura Horvath and Emma Lawson.
Notice: Horvath solely acquired 50 whole factors from the Video games with a listed rank of thirty ninth place after withdrawing from the competitors on Friday morning.
Now, chances are you’ll be saying, “This will’t be proper. Tia gained. Shouldn’t she be in first place?”
I wrote in regards to the chance that somebody might win the Video games however not be within the high spot on the WWR in an article known as “Breaking The Worldwide Rankings at the 2023 NOBULL CrossFit Games,” revealed by BFriendly Health earlier than the 2023 Video games.
Right here’s what I wrote:
“When the Worldwide Rating (WWR) was introduced by Adrian Bozman and Dave Eubanks again in January, a curious assertion was alluded to in regards to the ‘Fittest on Earth’ vs. the #1 athlete on the WWR after the Video games:
‘[The] winner of the Video games will all the time be the factors winner for a given season.‘
Dave Eubanks – Senior Supervisor of Competitors, CrossFit LLC“
Primarily based on the factors awarded, this makes some sense: the winner of the Video games will get 10,000 factors, greater than an athlete successful their area’s Semifinal (4,000 factors), the Quarterfinals (2,000 factors), and the worldwide Open (1,000 factors) mixed. Within the announcement podcast, Bozman stated, “[An athlete] can’t be out-pointed by somebody who wins the Open.”
The “will all the time” assertion doesn’t comply with that of comparable techniques in different skilled sports activities like tennis or golf, the place the winner of the championship occasion of the yr is probably not the factors chief when all factors are allotted over the season (or in CrossFit’s case the 2 season look-back interval).
I adopted up with Eubanks, and he reiterated this sentiment whereas additionally acknowledging the potential for somebody successful the Video games however not being #1 general, which was potential in 2024.
In simply yr two — although admittedly not a yr anybody would have needed or anticipated — we’re seeing this happen.
So, What Provides?
Tia-Clair Toomey-Orr is the Fittest on Earth for the seventh yr, however she is seventh on the WWR.
Right here’s why:
The WWR seems again at two full seasons of eight official CrossFit occasions, so this present rating contains:
- 2023 Open | 2023 Quarterfinals | 2023 Semifinals | 2023 CrossFit Video games
- 2024 Open | 2024 Quarterfinals | 2024 Semifinals | 2024 CrossFit Video games
Being a rolling two-year, eight-event lookback, the factors that Toomey-Orr had going into the Video games included 10,000 factors for successful the 2022 CrossFit Video games. Nonetheless, as soon as the 2024 Video games occurred, these factors had been dropped, and her 2024 first-place end gave her again the identical 10,000 factors, leaving her with a static 17,930 factors.
| ATHLETE | 23 OPEN | 23 QF | 23 SF | 23 GAMES | 24 OPEN | 24 OF | 24 SF | 24 GAMES | MINUS 22 GAMES | PREGAMES TOTAL | CURRENT TOTAL | |
| TIA-CLAIR TOOMEY-Orr | 970 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 980 | 1,980 | 4,000 | 10,000 | 7,930 | 17,930 | 17,930 |

The WWR is basically only a rating of elite consistency within the particular person division for the two-year interval.
- Toomey-Orr acquired zero scores for the 2023 Quarterfinals, Semifinals, and Video games whereas she was pregnant and never competing. Meaning her scoring for the WWR solely consisted of the factors she had from the 2023 Open and the whole of the 2024 season.
Evaluate this to the Ranking System that the Rogue Invitational has launched, the place athletes who select to pause their particular person division participation for maternity depart, competing in groups, or harm are awarded factors. Within the case of the 2024 Video games, athletes who selected to withdraw from competitors had been additionally awarded extra factors.
- In these circumstances, Rogue averages the athlete’s earlier three occasion level totals to reach at a brand new rating.
Instance: Laura Horvath was awarded 828.75 factors by Rogue for the 2024 CrossFit Video games vs. 50 factors based mostly on the factors matrix launched by the Video games crew.
Congratulations to Gabi Migala for being the 2024 CrossFit WWR Champion and to Toomey-Orr for being the Fittest on Earth.

Jeff Adler stays within the high spot of the boys’s WWR after withdrawing earlier than the beginning of Day 2 of the Video games, which gave him a remaining ending spot of thirty sixth general.
- Thirty-sixth on the Video games is awarded 100 factors.
The Fittest on Earth, James Sprague, jumps 19 spots from twenty third to fourth general on the WWR, receiving 10,000 factors for his first time successful the Video games.
This mirrors the state of affairs seen within the ladies’s division of the Fittest on Earth not being the WWR Champion for the yr.
- Sprague actually turned it up in 2024, having acquired simply 500 factors for the 2023 Video games and now 10K for this yr.
With the two-season look again (if that continues in 2025), Sprague would seemingly transfer forward of different athletes as their 2023 Video games finishes are rolled off.
Lazar Đukić, who tragically handed throughout Occasion 1 of the 2024 CrossFit Video games, continues to be listed as he would have been eleventh general on the WWR. He was fifth on the earth in these rankings, going into the Video games after incomes his (back-to-back) Europe Semifinal title.
