Tia-Clair Toomey is making headlines again, this time for her awe-inspiring performance at the Commonwealth Games. She competed for Australia in the 58kg category and walked away with gold, thanks to an 87kg snatch (a personal best) and 114kg clean and jerk, for a total of 201kg. With calculated weight jumps and extreme precision, she narrowly beat out Canadian weightlifter Tali Darsigny by just one kilo.

Toomey has once again defied the odds, taking gold at the Commonwealth Games and being crowned the fittest woman on earth. And let’s not forget she went to the Olympics. She’s certainly come a long way from her first weightlifting competition.

Nobody can deny the hours (and hours and hours and hours) Toomey puts in at the gym, and all the hard work has paid off. Many congrats to you, Tia! Well deserved.
