Tori Bowie, the former Southern Miss long jumper, went to her first Summer Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro this summer, putting her stamp on the track and field events.
On day eight of the Rio Summer Olympic Games, Bowie took place in the first final of her Olympic career in the 100-meter. In her 100-meter semifinal before, she placed first with a time of 10.90s and showcased dominance among her peers.
But even after shaving her time down to 10.83s in the 100-meter final, she placed second after ducking her head and lunging out to the finish line.
