The Fight for Five: A Look Back at Toomey’s Record-Setting Career
The 2021 CrossFit Games starts today. We’ve covered age group divisions, adaptive divisions, teams, and several of the intriguing story lines in the elite individual field.

2015
Toomey first showed up to the Games in 2015 as a wide-eyed rookie that basically no one knew.

She didn’t win or even take second in any events that year.
