it means the Olympics only exist to get ratings for the TV networks. They are going to allow her into the final just because she's famous and it will increase ratings. They might even give her a gold medal just for showing up to the final.
She fouled on her first 2 jumps, in other words, her foot was over the board. On her last jump, as she started her runup, she grabbed her hamstring high up. You have like 60 seconds to jump and her time ran out so 2 fouls plus a time foul = no jump/no mark.
Top two qualifiers were USA.
Cheer for the home team.
Absolutely…I think the athlete from Texas in the long jump is fantastic. The spunky attitude…the fun…please give us more US athletes like that. So refreshing.
That said…I am president and founding member of the Dayra fan club.

Thanks.
That is a real bummer.
She’s past her prime. That’s all it means. And nothing wrong with that. Consistency is the hardest part of being an elite athlete.
Good luck to all the women who made the long jump final! So great to see newcomers like Davis competing alongside veterans like Reese and Spanovic!
