Tom Miazga is, quite simply, a powerhouse.
A Paralympian, a record-breaker, a multiple-time CrossFit champion and a proud member of the LGBTQ+ community — his journey is one of resilience, reinvention and relentless drive.
Tom first made his mark in the pool, representing Team USA at the 2008 Paralympics in Beijing. Over his career as a swimmer, he smashed eight American records, set two Pan-American records, and collected more than a dozen international medals along the way.
But if you thought that was impressive, Tom was just getting started.
Switching to CrossFit took his competitive career to another level. To date, he has been crowned “Fittest Seated on Earth” an incredible nine times, cementing his legacy as one of adaptive sport’s most dominant and inspiring athletes.
Away from competition, Tom is a passionate advocate for the LGBTQ+ community, raising awareness and money through high-profile fundraisers — and with modelling also on his résumé, it’s fair to say he’s a man of many talents.
