Since 2007, Jezebel has been the Internet's most treasured source for everything celebrities, sex, and politics...with teeth.
I'm ready to watch Jasmine Moore win the triple jump, Sha'Carri Richardson break the 100m record, and Noah Lyles break Usain Bolt's 200m record.The Paris Olympics are a month away and while I know we’re all excited about gymnastics, swimming, and artistic swimming, I am most excited to watch the USA Track & Field team—a sport that I don’t think gets half the attention and recognition it should.during the U.S. Track & Field trials and is officially heading to Paris.
I was captain of my high school track team where my main event was the triple jump. Sometimes, during a beach day with friends—and after I’ve had between two and five White Claws— I’ll demonstrate the specifics of this gorgeous field event. Unfortunately, since this is a website and not the beach, you’ll have to be satisfied with a simple, written explanation.
No hate to the high jump or long jump but the triple jump, in my opinion, is a more elegant display of athleticism with a much more satisfying rhythm. And speaking of elegance and rhythm! Moore, the 23-year-old seven-time NCAA Division 1 triple jump champion, literally made me gasp with her event-winning jumpMoore attended the 2020 Tokyo Olympics in 2021 and placed 23rd overall with a 45′.2″ jump. Her jump on Sunday, which also got her her first U.S. championship medal, was 46’9.5″.
Bolt’s current world record for the 200m is 19.19 seconds, which he set at the 2009 World Championship in Berlin, Germany. Lyles ran a 19.31 in 2022 at the World Championship in Eugene, Oregon, breaking Michael Johnson’sby one second.
