Sports are unpredictable.
Except when it comes to Tia-Clair Toomey-Orr.
She wins. Every single time.
And on Sunday, after a long, emotional weekend, 30-year-old Toomey-Orr did it once again en route to becoming the seven-time CrossFit Games champion. It’s a feat no man or woman has ever achieved before her.
- “I think this is definitely the best one yet. Ever,” Toomey-Orr said in a post-event interview. “I have always had a really strong support network, but this year we have really had to lean on my family to make sure [my daughter] Willow had everything she needed throughout the season…I have no regrets.”
