My Take
Tori Bowie's story moves me and saddens me in equal measure. Born in Sand Hill, Mississippi in 1990, she became one of the world's premier sprinters and long jumpers, taking silver in the 100 meters and bronze in the 200 at the 2016 Rio Olympics and winning 100-meter world gold in 2017. She had explosive talent and real range across track and field. What lingers for me is how early she was gone, passing in 2023 at just 32. To me her legacy is both the medals and the heartbreaking reminder of a career cut far too short.
