Jourdan Delacruz is headed to her second Summer Olympics with Team USA weightlifting. She's hoping to lift a gold medal at the 2024 Olympics in Paris.
has powered her way to her second Olympic appearance with USA weightlifting. She is one of three women who will represent the USA, along with two men.
“For Tokyo, I was literally only there for like 24 hours and then we had to go. We couldn’t do anything in the Opening or Closing ceremonies, so I am really excited about that too,” Delacruz said.She didn’t earn a spot on the podium in Tokyo, which has given her even more push to succeed. She said the training for the Paris Olympics has been different as well because she has only had three years to prepare as opposed to the usual four in between Summer Games.
She moved outside of Atlanta, Georgia in 2018 where she now calls home, training alongside Tokyo silver medalist Kate Vibert. The whole, “iron sharpens iron” quote definitely applies here.
