“I’m just super excited super happy that I got the jitters out the way and ready for tomorrow,” Moore said.NBC 5's Laura Harris spoke with North Texan Jasmine Moore, the 23-year-old, seven-time NCAA champion who is the first U.S. woman to make the Games in both the triple jump and the long jump. She talked about the difference in having a packed stadium of more than 70,000 fans cheering, as opposed to the deafening silence from the Tokyo Olympics where COVID-19 restrictions banned fans.
“Honestly just like giving it all to God like when it’s this many people like it can feel very overwhelming and like almost as if I can’t do it, but I’m like I just have to give it to Him and I know that I work super hard so I just really just try,” Moore said.“This is definitely the biggest crowd that I have competed in front of, but everyone was super supportive and yeah, we had a lot of USA people cheering for me,” Moore said.
She said she will spend Friday night sleeping, recovering and fueling up with Chipotle. Yes. Chipotle. No, we didn’t ask her what the order was.Moore is the first U.S. woman to make the Olympics Games in both the triple jump and the long jump.
