Tiffany Porter

What fascinates me about Tiffany Porter is the courage of her reinvention. Born in Michigan and racing for the United States as a junior, she chose to represent Great Britain when she stepped up to the senior ranks, ultimately competing at the London Olympics. The 100 metres hurdles is brutally unforgiving, a discipline measured in hundredths of a second, and to rebuild your entire competitive identity around it takes a particular stubbornness I admire. Her University of Michigan grounding clearly travelled well across the Atlantic. To me she represents an athlete who asked not where she was from, but where she could fly highest.
