3 Gold Medals in 30 Minutes

A miracle took place in Daegu, Korea at the Track and Field World Championships.  Within 30 minutes the Americans won 3 Gold medals.

Jesse Williams won Gold in the high jump.  Not only is it Gold but it's the first EVER American medal in high jump at the Worlds.

In a race that took my breath away, Jenny Simpson won Gold in the 1500 meters.  She's the first American to win Gold since Mary Decker Slaney in 1983 (which was the first year of Worlds).

Lashinda Demus won Gold in the 400 meter hurdles, beating the previous American record time by .14 seconds.

All I can say is to chant: U  S  A,  U  S  A!
