At Bolder Athlete, we live by three values:
🧠 Confident in our preparation
🔥 Relentless in our pursuit
💪 Humble in our execution

This year, those values are headed to the biggest stage in our sport: The Age-Group CrossFit Games in Columbus, Ohio.

We are thrilled to announce that 15 Bolder Athletes have officially qualified The Games—each one a powerhouse of dedication, discipline, and belief in what’s possible.

These aren’t just athletes—they’re examples. Of consistency. Of courage. Of what it means to keep showing up with purpose.

Your journey doesn’t end here. You’ve shown the mindset and grit that defines a Bolder Athlete, and that momentum doesn’t go to waste. Keep building. Keep pushing. Your moment is coming.

Qualifying for the CrossFit Games isn’t just about the leaderboard—it’s about transformation, resilience, and the long game. And if there’s one thing we know for sure, it’s this: You’re on the right path.

This August, when our 15 athletes step onto the floor in Columbus, they won’t be alone. They’ll be carrying the strength of our entire Bolder community with them.
