Did Tia-Clair Toomey give anyone else goosebumps during Event 3? She hit the ground running Day 1, but perhaps nothing will compare to the insane results she achieved for the CrossFit Total — a combination of the heaviest successful squat, strict press, and deadlift. Toomey’s combined total was a whopping 875 pounds, giving her the event win. And let’s be honest — nothing beats this moment:
She can Crit (5th), she can do 30 Muscle-ups (2nd) and she can definitely Total. Reigning Fittest Woman on Earth @TiaToomey posts 875 lb. on the CrossFit Total to win IE3 at the @DrinkFITAID North Park #CrossFitGames. pic.twitter.com/J4RlZ4HvMD

Exciting news on the men’s side, too! Australia’s Royce Dunne took the Event 3 win after totaling 1,255 pounds. No big deal.

We still have one event left to go — the marathon row — but it’s safe to say this will go down in the books as the craziest first day in Games history.
