The women’s long jump will be contested at 6:15 PM local time on Thursday.
The field is amazing. Brittney Reese, two time Olympic, three time World Champion, Tianna Bartoletta (formerly Madison), and Erica Jarder.
Brittney Reese spoke about the changes she has brought about her jumping in 2014. Tianna Bartoletto, now under the eyes of Loren Seagrave, gave her most articulate and fascinating interview on her team, her training and her love of the long jump. For Erica Jarder, who had a less than happy experience in Zurich, this must have been a major clinic in the Long Jump.
