Samantha "Sam" Briggs (born 14 March 1982) is a CrossFit athlete best known for winning the CrossFit Games in 2013.
She has qualified for the CrossFit Games four additional times: in 2010, 2011, 2015, and in 2016 (she failed to qualify in 2014 due to a poor performance on the handstand walk event at the European regional competition).
She finished four of her five appearances in the top 5 overall.
Briggs lived and trained in Miami, USA for the 2015 CrossFit season, but now resides in her native England.
Before she found CrossFit in 2009, she competed in amateur-level duathlons, triathlons, and football in the Northern Premiership League (as a centre midfielder or centre-back).
She also worked as a firefighter with West Yorkshire Fire and Rescue Service.
Briggs then took a sabbatical to concentrate on Crossfit fulltime.
