If you’re the average athlete, you take a short breather after the Open to rest and recover. If you’re Tia-Clair Toomey, you jump right into preparing for the Commonwealth Games. Between April 4th and April 15th, athletes will gather in Gold Coast City for what guarantees to be the biggest sporting event the Gold Coast has witnessed. In other words, it’s a big deal.

Toomey wasted no time switching gears from the CrossFit Open (where she finished 12th) back to Olympic weightlifting. Based on some of her recent Instagram posts, we’d say she’s looking strong and ready to compete (again).

Day 1 in the training hall and wearing the Green ? and Gold ?. It’s only been just over 24hours and I’m already having a ball! ? #weightlifting #teamaus #goldcoast #gc2018 #training #aussieaussieaussie #greenandgold #commonwealthgames
