2017 Fittest Woman on Earth Tia-Clair Toomey, or should we say Orr, and 2nd Fittest Woman on Earth Kara Webb headline the Pacific Team for next month’s CrossFit Invitational. The duo will be joined by Rob Forte and James Newbury.

All four athletes, along with their coach Chad Mackay, are returning from last year to compete on their home soil. This year’s Invitational will be held in Melbourne, Australia on November 5.

The Pacific team likely had a shake-up after podium-finisher Ricky Garard was banned from CrossFit-sanctioned events for the next four years after failing a drug test at the CrossFit Games.
