The 2025 CrossFit Open worldwide winners are Colten Mertens and Mirjam von Rohr.

The 2025 CrossFit Open worldwide winners are Colten Mertens and Mirjam von Rohr. Their outstanding performances in all three Open workouts landed them on top of the individual men’s and women’s leaderboards.

 

How Scoring Works 

The CrossFit Open uses a relative scoring system. In the Open, athletes are ranked on the leaderboard based on their performance relative to other athletes in their division, and are assigned a point value based on their placing in each event (e.g., first place = 1 point, second place = 2 points). At the end of the Open, the athlete with the least amount of points is the overall winner. 

 

The 2025 CrossFit Open Prize Purse

A percentage of each Open registration fee will be used to fund the prize purse for each stage of competition during the 2025 CrossFit Games season. 

The top three individual men and women overall and each workout winner will receive the following prize money:

Meet the Overall Winners

Colten Mertens

Four-time CrossFit Games athlete Colten Mertens had everyone at the edge of their seats throughout the entirety of the 2025 CrossFit Open. He secured first place in the first two workouts after swiping the lead at the last second each week. Mertens finished 25.3 in second place, bringing his total points to just 4.  

This is his comeback year after narrowly missing a trip to the 2024 CrossFit Games.

Mirjam von Rohr

For the second year in a row, Mirjam von Rohr took first overall in the women’s individual division. 

Last year was von Rohr’s breakthrough, qualifying for her first Europe Semifinal and finishing out her season in 18th in the region. 

During the 2025 CrossFit Open, she swept the first two workouts and took 11th place in 25.3, finishing with a total of 13 points.
