Katie Moon continues to fly even when it’s hard by deji ogeingbo
At 34, Olympic champion Katie Moon is once again preparing another test, another team to win gold. But this time everything feels a little different.
He still trains a long-standing coach Brad Waller carefully, despite the distance now. The moon has a life in Tulsa, where she lives and works next to her husband, Hugo. Their lives are now calmer, but the bar remains high. The walker still writes his curricula, and he carries them with the same discipline, which brought his gold to Tokyo, World Feedback and silver medal in Paris this summer.
The moon is one of the best polar neck of its generation. In 2021, his Olympic title came with 4.90-meter vault, and he continued to deliver it since then. He won the Diamond League final, then insisted on the title of 2022. In 2023 he defended it with the total gold, Nina Kennedy, Australia, showing that his consistency has become a trademark.
Even in a season filled with injury and doubt, the moon does not give up. After the hardships of the hardships and cruel schedule of Achilles, he still managed to take silver in Paris in 2024. “I’m absolutely going through this year,” he said. “The experimental purpose is that I would like to be in 2028 on home Olympics, but I just don’t know how my body will feel.”
The timetable of the Moon’s summer competition showed its quality, even if it did not cover the Olympic medal. He opened his outdoor campaign in May in Doha 4.63 million. Then there came three straight victories, all 4.73 meters away, Rabat, Paris and Chula Vista. Its best of the season came from within, 4.83 meters from the inside, both in New York and Levi.
He remained inside his and stayed nearby. He recently jumped 4.73 m in London, it’s good enough for the second Olivia mctaggartand showed that even when he doesn’t feel perfect he is still in the best.
The moon speaks clear about where it is in her career. He took almost everything in sports, but he still finds meaning to make everyday. His love began in the polar folder, and remains to be contacted with such feelings than the result.
“This sport is difficult enough, as is,” he said. “If you don’t enjoy it at the core, it’s too hard to put yourself through everything.”
What makes the current way of the moon not only the strength of him, but also the decision to remain justified. There is no meaning of drama, there are no goodbye or heritage statements. He’s training. He is competing. He checks with his coach. He returns home. He is wearing.
With the World Cup in September, Moon will once again present the US trials, looking for the team and defended his title for the third time. It should be noted that he is saying goodbye and should not be shown. There is no guarantee to his body, and he knows it. But the possibility is still worth pursuing.
Even when he wakes up smooth, he said in the Parisian Olympics, he believes that he was holding something. “I woke up to not be very good, just a headache, and I felt my nervous system was a small apartment,” he said. “But I just tried to stay focused. This is the Olympic game. “
That way of thinking was taken away from him more than many. He doesn’t need to regain himself or prove anything. He does what he has always done. Putting the work, showing and skipping the future is one jump at a time.
