In London, during the 2012 Olympics, Will Claye won medals in both the long jump and the triple jump. The silver medal in the triple jump and his bronze medal in the long jump has not been accomplished since 1932 in the Olympics. And the last time an American did it was in the 1904 Olympics in my hometown of St.Louis, Missouri!
Will Claye is a fun interview. He loves his sport, loves competition and sees his gift as something very special. This interview was done at the USATF Press Conference. Special thanks to Amanda Brooks/USATF and the thoughtful answers of Will Claye, who is becoming one of my favorite athletes.
