Road to the Games Episode 16.07: Webb / Toomey

- On this episode of Road to the Games, get to know a little more about the journeys of Games vet Kara Webb and 2015 Games rookie and second-place finisher Tia-Clair Toomey.
Webb has been a favorite to win the title Fittest on Earth since 2014, but her luck hasn’t been the greatest. After withdrawing from the 2014 Games due to injury, she came back more fit than ever in 2015 only to be sidelined again by a bout of heat exhaustion during Murph. In impressive style, she still went on to take fifth overall. This year, her goal is more clear than ever: win the CrossFit Games.
Toomey surprised everyone-including herself-when she took second at last year’s Games after a consistent performance all weekend. Now, she’s proud to say she will be competing on the big stage in Carson, California, and competing in the Olympics for weightlifting in the same year.

"And i think that every female should be very proud of their body, whatever shape or form it is. they should embrace it" what she said is so true😊
India Thomas I don’t think they should be ashamed, but to say they should embrace it no matter what shape it is hardly genuine. It is a safe statement to say in front of the camera, but we all know that we don’t want an obese person to embrace their body. We them to change it and be healthy. We want people with unhealthy bodies to embrace health and fitness. Let’s not put quotes around cliche statements as if they’re some kind of wisdom just because it’s from some famous person or because it’s convenient to believe it. Sorry if I’m coming off as a jerk, but I just think people need to be more genuine and thus precise with their language and stop trying to please everyone and afraid to hurt someone.
Personally, I loved the quote! Love yourself! ❤
Kara Webb is so human. I love that you shared about your body image; the more of that the better for the world, I think! You're a hero!
Smith and Fraser! Can't wait!
Kara Webb is a warrior. 💪💪💪💪 I've been waiting for this one.
The highlight of CrossFit Games is for me is Mat Fraser’s transformation from 2015 - 2016 games, and Tia’s mindset transformation from 2016-2017.
These women are freaking beautiful they are competing to be the fittest in world to people who say theyre ugly, are just jealous because they dont know the sacrifice they had to make to become a legend :D
Yeah, they're so attractive and charismatic!
My girlfriend looks great, but yet she trains A LOT to become as fit as these ladies, and I support her 1000%, cos we all must do smth to be better than we are.
VideosAreDrugs That is absolutely correct. You'd have to be jealous of their appearance and fitness to criticise these young women.
One of the best episodes yet! Love them both!
And how amazing is it that we have a CrossFit athlete going to the Games and the Olympics in the same year?! True testament to CrossFit and how incredible these athletes are!
These ladies are so adorable. Can't wait to cheer them on this weekend
Next episode will be sick ! Ben and Mat
They are such an inspirational pair of women! I love the humbleness they have and the drive.
Makes me long to got to the gym later.
Crossfit games and the Olympics!?!?! DAMN
Imagine doing crossfit then head off to Olympics after.
Kara webb is so cool!
Lol watching this again and it is so funny how Kara is talking about doing CrossFit while pregnant and while having kids. She is literally on her comeback after having her daughter!!
That's pretty cool that the Kara Webb footage used was shot at my box; Code 3 Athletics last summer just before the Games kicked off. Those quads are something to be admired and things of beauty. Nothing like seeing them up close. I remember they were there for several hours capturing everything with a Red camera. I chatted with Rob Forte and Kara's husband for a bit. Both cool people. A day or two later Ben Bergeron and his team came through to use our Big Bob. Games week can get exciting when different athletes roll through. If and when they move the venue, I'll miss that.
2 Fantastic athletes. Be strong, be bold, believe.
you ladies are inspirational... and I will share with my daughters so they can be as amazing and strong like you both...
I would like to see Kara Webb or Sara Sigmundsdóttir take it this year!
Kara would have a Games Title only for injuries in the past few years. Favorite athlete in the Games. Collapses after Murph in 2015 and still finishes 5th, unreal.
This was my favourite one so far. I just wish it was about 20 minutes longer!
I love these two ladies!
I'm so beyond stoked for the next episode! Great job to the CrossFit Media or whoever put these together! Getting me so hyped for the Games.
Tia-Clair Toomey absolute new crush
Wondering if Ep.8 would be before or after the games.
I love her she's so down to Earth!!
Ben and Matt, 2 beasts, can not wait to see!
I hope the video has 30 minutes.
Love these videos, can definitely see them both on the podium, can't wait.
My two favorites! Hope they will performe well at the games this year.
And to think these two BATTLED ALL THIS YEAR FOR THE TITLE. GREAT SHOW LADIES...CONGRATS TIA. #STILLTEAMSARA
As a guy, I wish I had legs like Kara! they're freakin incredible! she's incredible!
love these two! Tia-Clair Toomey, what an incredible athlete.
Amazing ladies! Awesome Athletes!
I'm so amazingly proud to be Australian when I see these two unbelievable ladies represent our nation . Absolute legends.
I think both of their bodies are immensely attractive? The principal person who takes offense to such bodies are the ones who assume women are supposed to be petite and slim. If you think you have to right to assign a body composition to an entire gender irrespective of that gender's goals, you need to check yourself. Why should a women look frail when her goal is perform? That doesn't make sense. If we say women should be tiny, what do we say about men? That they should be large? How large? Like bodybuilders? Wait, don't people say that's gross? And, what about marathon runners, why should they be large? Here's how I see it: bodies are designed to move, the bodies that move the best are the most developed, the most developed bodies are the most attractive because they do best what they are designed to do. However development manifests itself, so be it, in the end, it's all a reflection of an increased capacity to express our humanness, which is the ultimate display of beauty. It's quite true - beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Please don't pretend like what you think is beautiful should align with everybody else.
The Smith-Fraser Episode has to be at least 30 minutes long.
Please be longer than Ence and Bridges
The Tia and Shane team are Aussie legends! Worked in Gladstone know it well, wish I knew about this community at the time!
Both of these women are beautiful and amazing!!
these girls are such great role models, proud to be aussie 😊
Two amazing ladies.
Next episode is gonna be insane. Fraser is hungry
x2
Right - the first 2 minutes of this video are great, but - let's put it this way. If a guy who ate cheetos every day, who weighs 350lbs came up to me and said, I am proud of my body - I'm calling bullshit.
Take the cars, technology, electricity, combustion engines out of our lives. Take us back 10,000 years, and what were we? Hunter gatherers, active animals in our natural state who had to be active or we would die. If you are overweight and doing something about it, then you have every right to be proud of your body, each and every day that you are striving to make yourself fitter. But if you don't exercise, don't eat right, don't have any thought to your own health, then that's fine - but what on earth do you have to be proud of?
Both of these women are unbelievably impressive humans. Aspire to that. Be an impressive human. Impress yourself. Don't kid yourself.
why cant she be proud she work hard as she said and why are u watching what did u expect some thin anorexic chic with no mussell these are athletes
attie olwagen No. Read my comment again, idiot. Your reply has got nothing to do with what I said.
friggin love these series-keep 'em commin!
I can't weit for the next episode
How do I get Tia-Clair Toomey's abs?
You do what she does.
Take Steroids and destroy your body like she does.
superior genetics
Steroids...
I will be bowling when I am 100 and your girl will be long dead of heart failure just like Flo Jo who also used roids and fucked herself up and made fake speed records.
Like to see someone qualify for some olympic running event and the CF games. That'll be the day.
That probably won't happen any time soon if ever. It definitely wouldn't happen for anything longer than an 800m runner and even then a lot of the things that would make you a good CrossFitter would hurt you as a sprinter and vice versa. Even Dan Bailey who was a 48s 400 runner, now that he's transitioned to solely a CrossFitter said himself that he'd probably struggle to run a 400 in 55s. The Olympic guys are running them in
+bingahgread yea super unlikely, that athlete would be unreal
these athletes are all way too big to qualify for an olympic track event, sprinters are strong and lean, less muscle hypertrophy compared to what is needed for cross fit and distance requires even less. they've got the muscle strength and power but i think their weight would hold them back
+Alison Jayne yea really unlikely, but its possible - if the emphasis of cf competition change it could be more likely
You could maybe see a jumper or a short hurdler make it to the games. I think that'd be most likely out of any track athletes.
Love the opening
Toomey is a beast!!
Waited so long for this one !!!
Straya represent!
Such awesome ladies.
massive inspiration you two! :)
Next episode seems to be good. I hope it will be released really before the games.
Love Froning but since he has went team, the coverage of all other athletes has gone up. Excellent work by HQ. Hope these continue yearly
If none of her sponsors make a Kara "She-Bear" Webb shirt, they're all just wasting their time.
I would buy it.
both of these women are absolutely beautiful
Great ep
can't wait for next
Love your honesty
I cannot believe the KaraWebbSheBear t-shirt has not happened yet.
Kay Dub! Be proud of those THUNDER STICKS!
So cool watching this knowing Tia won it in 2017
my goodness those women are all so beautiful and powerful! so much respect for them. x
all the best girls good luck with the GAMES
I have Kara Webb on the podium this year.
How can anyone say anything negative about them?
They look amazing
Big big big respect to all crossfit athletes..! ✋✋
God bless to all..of you guys...
Haters gonna hate! Athletic people are beautiful!
Oh my god please anybody tell me the name of the music after min 10 at the regionals part
Love this episode!!!!
these gals are awesome
2021 Tia is a 4-times winner of the Crossfit games 🔥
The elite CrossFit athletes showcase some of the most incredible physiques in sports. Makes me a little sad/angry that some of the female competitors have to deal with what comes down to as 'muscle-shaming'. I'm sure there's a CrossFit equivalent to that saying 'Fu$% 'em if they can't take a joke.' Don't pay any attention to the idjits out there, ladies; you're inspiring a whole new generation of women.
Amazing Athletes!
tia's actually an inspiration wow
Tia's reaction when the eggs exploded in the microwave is priceless 😂
Great video!
"Rar, rar, rar. No one understands you she bear". LMFAO! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
After this video I love Tia more than before
this is even cooler now-- 1 week after the 2017 games.
Cara Webb has the best biceps. like damn!
Stood next to Kara at regionals and I was blown away by those arms in person haha
Wondering why all previous road to the games have been nearly an hour and this one is 15mins
Likely because in Aus there aren't the crossfit cinematography guys all over. Unfortunately we're not getting all the loving we need down here!!
+neversaw the last few have been short, even smith-Fraser and the Iceland "dottirs" was short, bit of a cop out this close to the games
What's the song starting at 3:34?
At 8:27, what is on her arms?
Please make the ben smith and mat fraser one really long, just like ence and bridges
goddamn, I remember watching the video replay of Webb doing that run. I'm not surprised at all she got heat stroke.
Amazing girls!!
About time!
Alguém sabe se tem esse video legendado em português? queria mostrar pra minha namorada...
cross fit women you are beautiful! strong, fit, muscular-amazing-you inspire me
Whats the soundtrack at the regionals?
Bro Camille, get her an episode
The only reason they said your abs are disgusting is because they are jealous of your abbs
Yes!!!!!!!!!! Been waiting for this!!!!!!!!
You both are beautiful women! You are truly inspirational
Tia-Clair, what are you gonna do with all the fitness?!
somebody post # of Simpson's episode
I want to kno Kara's 1RM squat
I love coaching / I love creatine?

idk what it is about Tia but i love her

+tallcip65 she really had that calm this regionals, just performed and breathed it was amazing to watch
Congrats tia tommey for winning the fittest woman award...👍
