She was declared the world's fittest woman after winning the world CrossFit Games six times consecutively from 2017 until 2022. She also placed runner-up in 2015 and 2016. Having so many accomplishments and wins to her name, Toomey said that growing up in Townsville, Weipa, Gladstone and the Sunshine Coast had given her an advantage when preparing for competition.
"There are also the people who I have met along the journey. I have been fortunate to have some amazing people in my corner teaching me. "When I think back to those days in Weipa when I was training, there were some brutal days where I had to learn grit and hard work," she said. While most people would be happy representing their country in one discipline, Toomey has competed in everything from CrossFit and weightlifting to running and bobsleigh at the winter Olympics."Throughout this journey, I really wanted to test my body to its ultimate limits, and I feel like I haven't done that yet," she said.Rumours of retirement
