Toomey has made history, winning the CrossFit Games for the sixth time. It is the most of any athlete, one more than her old training partner Mat Fraser on five.
Her victory feels inevitable in hindsight, but she was made to work for top spot. At the end of day one, she was in the unfamiliar place of eighth spot.
The Australian steadily moved up to third then first place over the next few days.
Toomey only won two event out of 13 events, compared to nine out of 15 last year. But her overall points were enough to see her home and claim the US$310,000 prize money.
Toomey was followed by American Mallory O’Brien and Hungarian Laura Horvath in second and third respectively.
