Taking 10th place overall in your rookie year at the Crossfit Games makes an entrance. Besting all the men’s and women’s scores for the handstand walk course in 2021’s Games makes a statement. A former collegiate track star, Danielle Brandon’s 5-time Games run has earned her recognition in the Crossfit world as an intense and passionate competitor, and a crowd favourite for her transparent — at times, polarizing — personality. After finishing in the top ten in 2022, 2023 and 2024, we look forward to watching her bring the fun and fire she’s known and loved for to future Games.
