Imagine being referred to as "The Fittest Woman On Earth" — that's Laura Horvath's reality. The 2023 champion of the CrossFit Games joins Hurdle this week for a conversation about strength, body image, and nutrition. She covers how she trains to embrace the different phases of her cycle, what has changed (or rather, what hasn't) since she came out on top, and why her early days of climbing lent themselves to excelling within sport when her brother introduced her to it in 2016.
