2026 Rogue Invitational Individual Women’s Field Is Set
Twenty of the world’s top CrossFit athletes are headed to Aberdeen.
The 2026 Rogue Invitational returns to P&J Live in Aberdeen, Scotland, October 23-25, bringing together a women’s field packed with CrossFit Games champions, Rogue Invitational winners, established veterans, and some of the sport’s fastest-rising competitors.
Horvath Returns to Defend
Laura Horvath returns to Aberdeen as the defending Rogue Invitational champion after taking the top spot in 2025.
The Hungarian finished ahead of Alex Gazan and Lucy Campbell to claim her third Rogue Invitational championship, adding another title to a résumé that already includes the 2023 CrossFit Games championship.
Horvath will now look to defend her Rogue title against a field that includes many of the athletes who battled for the top of the leaderboard throughout the 2026 season.
The 2026 Games Podium Heads to Aberdeen
Leading that group is Aimee Cringle, who arrives in Scotland as the reigning Fittest Woman on Earth.
Cringle captured the 2026 CrossFit Games championship just two years after making her Games debut, completing a rapid rise from 13th as a rookie in 2024 and eighth in 2025 to the top of the podium this summer. The 27-year-old will now make her Rogue Invitational debut with an opportunity to add another major championship to her breakout season.
Joining her are Emma Lawson and Lucy Campbell, who finished second and third at the 2026 Games.
Lawson returned to the Games podium with her runner-up finish and heads back to Aberdeen after placing fourth at the 2025 Rogue Invitational. Already one of the most experienced athletes in the field despite still being in her early 20s, the Canadian will once again be in the hunt for the top of the leaderboard.
Campbell followed her third-place finish at Rogue in 2025 with another third-place finish at the CrossFit Games this summer. Competing closer to home in Aberdeen, the British athlete enters the Invitational after establishing herself as one of the most consistent podium contenders in the sport.
Rogue Podium Contenders Return
Alex Gazan returns after finishing second to Horvath at the 2025 Rogue Invitational. Gazan followed that performance with fourth place at the 2026 CrossFit Games and will once again be among the athletes looking to challenge for the top spot in Aberdeen.
Madeline Sturt continued one of the strongest stretches of her career with a fifth-place finish at the Games. The Australian veteran also finished 11th at Rogue last year and returns to Scotland with more than a decade of experience competing at the highest level of the sport.
Olivia Kerstetter finished sixth at the 2026 Games after taking fifth at Rogue in 2025. Still one of the youngest athletes in the field, Kerstetter continues to establish herself among the sport’s elite and will look to take another step forward in Aberdeen.
Arielle Loewen finished seventh at the Games this summer and returns to the competition where she stood on the podium in 2024. Her consistency has kept her near the top of major leaderboards for several seasons, making her another athlete capable of challenging for a podium spot.
A Deep Field From Top to Bottom
The depth continues with Paige Rodgers, Elisa Fuliano, and Danielle Brandon, who finished eighth, ninth, and tenth at the 2026 CrossFit Games.
Rodgers returns to Aberdeen after qualifying for the 2025 Invitational through The Q and immediately making an impact with a second-place finish in the opening event. Fuliano also earned her 2025 Rogue spot through The Q and followed that appearance with a top-10 finish at the Games this summer.
Brandon brings years of experience on the biggest competition floors in CrossFit and returns after finishing sixth at the 2025 Rogue Invitational, a weekend that included a win in the opening event.
Haley Adams and Abigail Domit also return after top-15 finishes at the 2026 Games, while Alexis Raptis, Emily Rolfe, and Dani Speegle add even more veteran experience to the field.
The lineup also includes Gabriela Migała, who returns to competition after missing the 2026 CrossFit Games. A perennial contender at both the Games and Rogue Invitational, the Polish athlete adds another proven podium threat to an already deep field.
The Q Adds Three More
The final three spots in the women’s field were earned through Rogue’s online qualifier, The Q.
Emma Tall, Jennifer Muir, and Carolyne Prevost punched their tickets to Aberdeen after the completion of the qualifier and video review.
Tall finished first in The Q to earn a return trip to the Rogue Invitational after competing in Aberdeen in 2025. Muir finished second, while Prevost secured the third and final qualifying position.
For all three, The Q provided one last path into a field featuring many of the top athletes from the 2026 CrossFit Games.
