Rookie? This woman is a rookie? You would never know looking at her. It’s Laura Horvath’s first time competing at the CrossFit Games, but she’s demolishing these events like a seasoned pro. It didn’t take her long to grab her first event win, with the Battleground. The Rescue Randy drag, rope climbs, and obstacle course proved to be nothing for Horvath, and she crossed the finish line in record time.
Horvath completed the event in 9:29.76, beating the next fastest athlete — Kristin Holte — by a significant margin. Holte finished in 10:04.33. Roughly four seconds behind her was Katrin Davidsdottir.
Horvath’s “worst” finish (if you can call it that) thus far was seventh place in the CrossFit Total. She may be surrounded by Games veterans, but this rookie isn’t messing around.
