5-Time Adaptive Champ Tom Miazga Keeps Racking Up Titles – and Giving Back to the Community
After another outstanding performance at the 2025 Adaptive CrossFit Games, Tom Miazga has once again been named the winner of the Men’s Seated with Hip Function division.
- From the 2008 Beijing Paralympic Games to the podium at the Games, Miazga is redefining what it means to be at the top of his craft both on and off the field.
Remind me: At the 2025 Adaptive CrossFit Games by WheelWOD in Las Vegas, athletes from 32 divisions competed in the final stage of the season.
- Miazga finished in the top three in all seven events (nine scored) in his division, winning five and earning a total of 850 out of 900 points.
Miazga, a former Paralympian and multi-sport champion, also contributes to the adaptive community as an educator and trainer at the Adaptive Training Academy (ATA).
- “Competition shows what’s possible. Education shows others how to get there,” Miazga said in an interview with the Morning Chalk Up. “Being a competitor allows me to demonstrate firsthand what hard work can achieve, but being an educator allows me to create pathways so others can chase their own goals. Both roles matter – one inspires, the other equips.”
Some details: Before stepping onto the CrossFit floor, Miazga was already a world-class athlete.
He was a swimmer who competed in the 2008 Paralympic Games, racing in the 100m backstroke and 400m freestyle events. Throughout his swimming career, he earned:
- Eight American records.
- Two Pan American records.
- 13 international medals.
Then, he discovered CrossFit, and that’s when his winning streak truly began. Since competing in functional fitness events, Miazga has built an impressive record:
- Five CrossFit Games Adaptive Division titles (2021, 2022, 2023, 2024, 2025).
- Four Wodapalooza championships (2019, 2022, 2024, 2025).
- Three WheelWOD Games Champion (2018, 2019, 2020).
In an era of parity among the elite divisions, his consistency and dominance are unlike anything seen before.
“I’m very aware my competitive CrossFit career can’t last forever, but I’m always ready to chase new challenges,” Miazga said. “I’m looking forward to getting involved in HYROX, and I have big hopes to complete an Ironman next year. I’ll always be chasing the next big challenge.”
