Looks like may fail WP:GNG, all [English] added "English" sources seem directly linked with the CrossFit gym program (which says it isn't a franchise, but isn't a recognisable sport either). I initially thought the source at ESPN was an advertorial not a real article. because the photo is "Courtesy of M&C Saatchi", but the byline says its by a real ESPN writer. Does that make it an independent source? In ictu oculi (talk) 05:27, 26 September 2013 (UTC)


 * I found this source as well from ESPN. Not sure if this helps, so I'll let the wiki gods work this in.Tuuky 22:29, 26 September 2013 (UTC)

 * Keep: Seems to get reasonably sustained coverage in national Icelandic media. I came to her article while making Icelandic Sportsperson of the Year and saw there's a ripple of consternation because Annie's not been included in the voting yet (the ÍSÍ aren't convinced CrossFit is a bona fide sport yet either). By all accounts she's the highest earning athlete in Iceland because each of these "events" she wins is worth $250,000. See for example, , , Clavdia chauchat (talk) 01:04, 27 September 2013 (UTC)
 * Keep (withdraw AfD) - okay well can't argue with that. I did search Icelandic sources but used the whole surname string when of course in Icelandic press the surname usually isn't used and she is Anníe Mist. Evidently passes WP:GNG. In ictu oculi (talk) 02:21, 27 September 2013 (UTC)
