Tia-Clair Toomey is no stranger to podiums. After being crowned the fittest on earth at this year’s CrossFit Games, she finished on the podium once again – this time, coming in third at the 2017 Commonwealth and Oceania Weightlifting Championships.

Competing as a 58kg lifter, Toomey finished with a 75kg snatch and a 102kg clean and jerk, totaling in at 177kg. Fellow Australian Erika Yamasaki took second place with her 180kg total, and Jenly Wini of the Soloman Islands grabbed first, with an impressive 196kg total.

The event served as a qualifying competition for the 2018 Commonwealth Games, which takes place next April. While Wini secured her spot, both Toomey and Yamasaki will need to compete again to qualify.

Toomey has long been a fan favorite — quiet, determined, slowly but surely climbing to the top. Never one to be too flashy, she’s put the work in year after year. In both 2015 and 2016, she came in second at the Games; and fans hoped she’d soon have her well-earned turn at the top of the podium. This year, she finally did, beating out Kara Webb by a mere two points. But it was all she needed to be named the fittest woman in the world.

Watching her train and compete, it’s easy to forget that Toomey only started CrossFit in 2013, and it was to improve her running! As CrossFit does for many, though, it made her fall in love. These days, Toomey is accomplished in both CrossFit and Olympic lifting, and the leaderboard proves it.

Toomey will have another opportunity to qualify for the 2018 Commonwealth Games later on in December, at which point she will undoubtedly remind us of the incredible athlete she is.
