If Jamal hadn't leaned to place second by .02 1st place would've gone to Trey due to combined time! .02 earned him $100k instead of $50k! 😳 That's how slim the margins are in Grand Slam Track!!

There is so much insanity & cruelness going on in the world. The other day I was referred to as a man (again 🙄). When I lost my hair at age 2 due to #alopecia this was one of my biggest fears & now is a common occurrence for me. I will continue to speak up & proudly represent

There's been a lot of takes on #bm100, but this one still felt fresh & was a good read. Imagine... asking someone questions & discussing things w/ them instead of jumping to conclusions about their entire life & ideology from a single post or picture. 😱 nytimes.com/2023/03/18/sport…
