After making it to the Paris Olympics, 100-meter hurdler Masai Russell treated herself to a new black Mercedes. Imagine her reward should the American star brings home gold. Imagine the social media content, too. When she’s not hurdling, Russell is a gold-medal influencer with around a million followers throughout her platforms.

Russell used to be a 400 hurdler, like McLaughlin-Levrone, before switching over for good in college. At the Summer Games in South Korea, Devers struggled with her eyesight in the hurdles races. She didn’t make it to the final. “Who knows what could have happened, if we’re playing the what-if game,” Devers said of the 1988 hurdles race. “Just having my life put on hold for three years when I should have been on the top of my game.”Just to make the U.S. team in the event takes an Olympic-esque effort. Russell, Alaysha Johnson and recent NCAA champion Grace Stark earned spots by all running 12.31 seconds or faster. Nia Ali, who was part of the American 100 hurdles sweep at the 2016 Rio de Janeiro Games, ran 12.
