Despite carrying some excess weight from the bobsled season, Tia-Clair Toomey is still amongst the greatest performers in the 2022 CrossFit. Tia-Clair has also not had much time to prepare, as she hoped to be invited to the Australian team for the 2022 Beijing Olympics. For approximately 6 months, she only focused on bobsled and neglected the CrossFit training. However, Tia-Clair Toomey’s 22.3 Open Workout Result was 4:12, which is just one second slower than the event and overall winner, Mal O’Brien.
Courtesy of her YouTube channel, you can watch Tia-Clair’s performance here:
“Looking back at it, I think I could have gone a little faster… The Open. It allowed me to find myself again, especially coming back from a different sport and facing different challenges… The Open was a really great reminder of how much I love CrossFit.”
