You can now add 2018 Commonwealth Games Champion to Tia-Clair Toomey's resume. 2017's Fittest Woman on Earth, Tia-Clair Toomey took to the lifting platform at the 2018 Commonwealth Games on April 6 to compete in the 58kg division in Carrara, Australia.

Toomey set a new personal best 87kg snatch and a 114kg clean and jerk to finish up with a 201kg total and lock up the gold.

Her 201kg total narrowly edged out second place, Canadian weightlifter Tali Darsigny, who finished the competition with a 200kg total hitting an 88kg snatch and 112kg clean and jerk.

An incredible win for Toomey who recently experienced a personal loss in her family with the unexpected passing of her teenage cousin, Jade Dixson, who was in a car crash. 

Toomey took to her Instagram before the competition and wrote, “Last session before I hit the platform tomorrow night and I’m so excited. Representing my country on the world stage is truly an honour and something I have worked so hard for. Thank-you so much for all the ongoing support and I hope I do you all proud. This is for you Jadey!”

Congrats Tia-Clair Toomey and good luck at Regionals in June!
