Elle St. Pierre OUT of 2026 World Indoors

Well stated!

She just made public today that her dad is dying. She skipped indoor worlds to be with him during the time he has left.

Not dodging. Not doping. Just trying to say goodbye to her dad. I have been in this boar and that time is precious. I am so sad for her.

Unfortunately, now past tense:

RIP Elle’s dad.

I am so sad for her. Her dad was obviously a central figure in her life. She was incredibly lucky to have had that. It must be so hard to lose a dad like that. 💔

It really puts her decision to skip indoor worlds into perspective. It is good that she had that time, and also that he got to watch his daughter kick a$$ in some incredible races. I can only imagine how proud he must have been of her.

RIP :(
