Congrats to mom dad and baby. It will be interesting to see who the bookies give the favorite status as most likely to make the 2040 Olympic team, this baby girl or Rowbury's. Both also have athletic dad's as Bishop's husband Osi Nriagu was a 7.53 long jumper.

Good for Rowbury
-
Will this thread end up as terrible as the Rowbury's one?
-
She really had a baby bump, probably because she is so skinny.
-
Congrats to Melissa too.
What a week for athletic new-borns! -
how beautiful. good for the proud parents.

800m runner and long jumper? Potential heptathlete then. Could this be the challenger to Brianne Theisen-Eaton's national records?

I have nothing to add besides saying that I once ran into her in a Winners (I think her husband lived for a while in my hometown, I don't know why else she would have been here) not long after Rio and I was basically starstruck, this woman is STUNNING in person. Congrats!
Ok, two things to add! The Tragically Hip played their last concert in summer 2016 which was televised and shown all across Canada. The local Imax was screening the concert, and the concert interrupted the CBC's Olympic broadcast so a few minutes of the Olympics were shown before the concert actually started -- including the women's 800m final, which was super cool to see on the Imax screen. -
Three things to add but this I heard secondhand. Once while on a trip to her husband's hometown she came to do a workout with the local university team. The coach was introducing her to the girls' team and one of them said something like, "Oh, that's great you're joining us today! What university do you run for?" or something like that. This was not long before Rio.

7.53? Is that metric? What is that in imperial units?
