Tia Clair Toomey Qualifies For CrossFit AND Olympic Games
It's a lifelong aspiration for many to compete at the CrossFit Games, for others it's a lifelong aspiration to compete at the Olympic Games. However, for Tia Clair Toomey, why chose one?

Tia qualified for the 2016 Reebok CrossFit Games after Regionals last month. She took second in the Pacific Regional, just behind Kara Webb. She also was selected to represent Australia at the Olympic Games in Rio this summer after lifting at the Oceania selection trials in Fiji. 

This means Tia will compete in Carson at the Games July 20-24, and then in Rio for the Olympic Games the following month. The award for most intense competition turnaround of 2016 goes to Tia Clair Toomey.
