Jazmin Sawyers caps stunning season with Ultimate silver in Budapest

78-meter jump in the last round. 77-meter mark.

33 meters. Sawyers, who advanced through the rounds while toting her viral pink, star-decorated blanket and matching nail art, expressed mixed feelings of satisfaction and a yearning for victory following her final leap.

The 32-year-old athlete's podium finish brings to a close a remarkable resurgence following a ruptured Achilles tendon suffered in her take-off leg in spring 2024, an ordeal that required surgical repair, prompted Olympic commentary duties with the BBC instead of competing in Paris, and enforced a 20-month competitive hiatus. 99-meter effort fell just one centimeter short of Iapichino.
