3 Tia Toomey
Toomey is the 2nd fittest Woman on earth after a series of fantastic performances at the 2015 CrossFit Games which also earned her the title of rookie of the year. She is a tri-silver medalist at the 2015 Pacific Games OIympic Weightlifting and competed for Australia at the IWF Weightlifting champion ships at Houston in the same year.
