Tonight, I gave it everything I had. EVERYTHING. I’m going home a happy woman, with another global medal to my name 🙏🏼 I’m honored to have been part of such a LEGENDARY pole vault competition. #WorldAthleticsChamps

In life you're either heading into a storm, going through a storm, or coming out of a storm. There's no way around that. Embrace the storm, change your perspective on what the storm actually means. For me it means an opportunity to get stronger.

But have you ever been quantifiably one of the best in the world or the history of your nation at something you worked your entire life to be great at to then have to start over after 15-25 years with something completely new, challenging your whole identity as a person?

Seeing these @WorldAthletics travel diaries makes a couple things clear. First most of us believe the U.K has the best fans.. there’s really no argument. Also long jumpers love competing in #Birmingham ... side note Pole Vaulters not so much.. terrible winds on that side LoL
