Ida Mathilde Steensgaard is a highly accomplished athlete known for her success in both Obstacle Course Racing (OCR) and HYROX competitions. In 2024, she achieved a major milestone by qualifying for her first-ever HYROX Elite 15 Major at the Hong Kong event. She secured her qualification at the HYROX Hamburg competition, completing the event in 1h 2m 35s​ - a top performance considering she ran an extra lap by mistake.

Throughout 2024, Steensgaard has faced challenges, including a shoulder injury that she has been battling since April. She has stated that she is now "80 percent" recovered from this injury, which had a significant impact on her training. Despite these setbacks, she managed to juggle her recovery with her passion for competitions, culminating in the qualification for the Elite 15.
