Just found and followed her insta, I'm not sure she is the real deal though... no bikini shots, jiggle dances or pictures of her icing herself with a travel freeze blockEliza McCartney you da real MVP
Yeah, I've been following her for a couple of months and it's a little on the disappointing side in that regard. Our Long Jumper Chelsea Jeansch won't let you down!

Eliza McCartney you da real MVP
Looked better in her Kiwi outfit today
Pale pink washes her out
Stefanidi was lucky to get the gold. Morris almost cleared the height for her to get it. But it was only one ab that brushed the bar on the way down that knocked it off.

pole vaulting can be a cruel sport. it only takes one errant body part to ruin your dreams...just ask Hiroki Ogita
Why is Hamish saying that Jarrod Talent is "the most medalled Australian athlete in track and field history"? Shirley Strickland won 7 medals, 3 gold, 1 silver and 3 bronze. Perhaps he means "male"?

Yep Shirley towers over the feats of Jarrod and Kathy Freeman.
I want to go to Carlton/Melbourne. But the high jump is keeping me at home.
High jumpers just ain't getting high.

High jumping is missing the Russians.....
I'd watch the javelin. But I'm ****** if I'm going to listen to mark Doran.
Second place has gone off in a wheelchair with a busted ankle. Mute the commentary?
"Czechoslovakia"??? Welcome to the 20th century...

The Bulgarian high jumper that won silver has a bit of an Aubrey Plaza vibe going on. I've simply got to stop falling in love with these track and field athletes. She's like the 8th one this week.

Needs more Unified Team
Actually should have had 4 bronze. She was given 4th place in the 200m in 1948, but the photo-finish showed she actually finished 3rd. It wasn't consulted at the time, but the photo was dug out of someone's attic in the 1970s, they had a look and went 'Hang on a minute, here..........'.
The american who beat her is recognised as the first black american female to win an Olympic medal. I guess it's a bit too 'historically sensitive' to redo the result.
Shirley Strickland also set WRs in the 100m, 80m hurdles and the 4x100 relay. Dead-set legend.
