CrossFit | Three-Time CrossFit Games Teen Athlete Sophie Shaft Competes at MIA Classic @crossfit | Uploaded February 2024 | Updated October 2024, 1 week ago.
“Change is good.”
Early last year, three-time CrossFit Games teenage athlete Sophie Shaft announced she would be stepping away from the Games floor and stepping onto the weightlifting platform.
It’s normal and healthy to change your goals.
At 18, Shaft is making a name for herself in Olympic weightlifting, competing in several weightlifting competitions, and earning a fifth-place finish overall at the 2023 IWF World Junior Championships in her weight division.
This weekend at the MIA Classic in Miami, Shaft maxed out her snatch at 93 kg (205 lb) and hit 114 kg (251 lb) for her clean and jerk — an Olympic total of 207 kg (456 lb).
“Overall (2023) was huge for me. I am so much happier than I was in years before, and have grown my skill set outside of just my sport. Very excited for this next year!”
