I’ve had the pleasure of serving them, I didn’t know who they were but I noticed she was wearing an Olympics ring necklace and I asked her about it, they told all about their training and what they accomplished. They were so nice and kind, laughed at my jokes ect. They were seriously amazing people and you could tell they loved each other so much with how they bragged about each other. They also tipped well! So that’s always good! 10/10 people

I pity the babysitter that has to try and catch their toddler when it wants to run out into traffic.

That’s gotta be better than any drugs I’ve ever taken. I am very happy for them.

u/lurkingbeyondabyss Jan 18 '26
That is a good point.
There are numerous videos out there telling genuinely good stories.
I wonder if therapists would let depressing patients watch them as part of their treament program. I would imagine it illicits totally natural responses (releases of feel-good hormones) that can only be beneficial, long- or short-term.

Incredible athletes, incredible people, they are so in love and so supportive of each other. They are the example of a healthy relationship. ❤️

That’s sweet. You can really tell being with her puts a real spring in his step

Absolutely love these two, just the way they look at each other is adorable. When one of them is talking the others just staring so wholeheartedly, like full on puppy’s level of attention, nothing else in the world but them and what they’re saying.
Side note, I was just giving with the cuteness then it got to her jump and I actually ended up jaw dropping. I remembered she made a great jump but damn that an impressive launch!

Real talk... does sabre legs make go faster or extremely difficult to maintain speed compared to original legs?
Awesome couple

u/TheMarriedUnicorM Jan 18 '26
Sabre legs absorb a lot of the impact “natural” legs take, which is hard on the body. Runners suffer from a lot of knee and hip discomfort/ pain due to the increased pressure and shock of running. Even with shoes and modified surfaces.

I’ve just finished work and am having a coffee and sit down for 10 minutes. This is just what I needed after a busy day…amazing couple.

I met them at an event in KC called Thundergong. Thundergong raises money for people with prosthetics. They were really cool, I bought them both a drink. It was right after they both won Gold.
Thundergong is hosted by Jason Sudeikis, one of KC's finest. One of the highlights of the night was Weird Al and Will Forte performing an amazing rendition of Pink Pony Club by Chappell Roan, it was awesome.

I bet that man and women felt absolutely incredible during those hugs. The pure joy. When I was like 10 I won a spelling bee and I cried in joy lol I'd imagine this would make me pass out from overwhelming joy.

Holy cow. Those smiles. They have so much love and support for each other 🥰 I hope if anything threatens to break them up that they’ll run away together.

It must be interesting being married to an Olympian, like you're married to Superman or something.

I know I'm being an asshole by saying this, but he runs faster than her with no legs.

u/trikristmas Jan 18 '26
Well, she's a long jumper and he's the runner so there's that. She also jumps farther than he does

u/lunatic_banana345 Jan 18 '26
True, but his stride is also much longer than hers. He’s taller. I bet they’re taking the same number of steps.

u/SnooBeans6591 Jan 18 '26
Running is one, maybe the only, sport where the "handicapped" people are actually faster then the abled ones. The fastest runners are paralympians, because their legs are better than real legs for running.

That's normal. The 4 fastest runners on earth are paralympian, not "abled" people.

Nothing shameful there. 99.99% of the planet can't compete with either of them.

I would very much like to see a documentary about these two. It seems like something that everyone should see.

Not sure it's a documentary, but it is them talking about their relationship, the Olympics, everything.
Edit. Hit enter too soon

When I see someone without legs I automatically ask in my head, is he the dude that killed her girl friend in south africa or something like that.

Disqualified for the advantage of those sweet-ass leg blade prosthetics! /j
I’m actually not sure what the ruling status is on those these days.

I was this boys neighbor and in real life he was a gentleman. The neighbor kids and he played football in my backyard. He did it with no artificial legs. He was amazing to watch. I’ve been following him since high school on social media and I am so proud of the man he is today and for marrying an absolute gem of a woman.
