SILVER FOR Brittney Reese, OLY, MBA in the women’s long jump. What a resume... ’09 World Outdoor 🥇 ’10 World Indoor 🥇 ’11 World Outdoor 🥇 ’12 World Indoor 🥇 ’12 Olympic 🥇 ’13 World Outdoor 🥇 ’16 World Indoor 🥇 ’16 Olympic 🥈 ’17 World Outdoor 🥇 ’18 World Indoor 🥈 ’21 Olympic 🥈

When an Olympian shows poor technique in a training video we talk about their amazing power etc… But, when a DEVELOPING athlete shows imperfections, their coach sucks & every “Twitter coach” knows best… it’s interesting.

I was joking with my 8 year old about joining her Cross Country team. Her response was, “No way! That would kill my jumping body, why would I do that?” Even an 8 year old gets it…

Philadelphia Eagles QB did the 4x4-4x2-4x1-TJ-SP quintuple in high school 👀

Being unsponsored in track and field is such a norm I’m surprised people are STILL SURPRISED. When unsponsored athletes to win an event or simply medal should let you know - it’s the athlete NOT the gear/kit. 🌍

Just wow. Watching this on repeat all day. Yulimar Rojas goes 15.74m to crush her own world record in the triple jump + win #WorldIndoorChamps 🥇

What's frustrating is that we are complaining about rules and ideas that have stood the test of time. Fouling is not a jump it is a no jump. The wind is a challenge that separates the ones who are best prepared.

The long-jump is a LOT more difficult than the sprints.

I was a long jumper that sprinted. The long jumpers have always been long jumpers. Let's stop acting like the long jump is about running fast and jumping.
