Jasmine Camacho-Quinn is the defending Olympic champion in the women’s 100m hurdles after setting the Olympic record in the semifinals with a timing of 12.26 seconds which was also a Games record. She shattered the previous Games record set by Australia’s Sally Pearson in 2012, clocking 12.35 seconds when she won gold in London 2012 nearly a decade ago. Her finals time of 12.37s was sufficient to make her the Olympic gold medalist. Camacho Quinn also had the quickest time ever in the 100-meter hurdles in the year 2022. After winning 12 of her last 13 races, some of which were part of the coveted Diamond League and other significant contests, Camacho-Quinn came at the Tokyo Olympics in top form.
Additionally, this was just the island’s second gold medal in its brief history, ending a sensational year for both Puerto Rico and Camacho-Quinn. The young woman excelled in track and field in high school and subsequently at the University of Kentucky (2016-2018), where she was a two-time national winner in the 100-meter hurdles (2016 and 2018) and the 4x100m relay (2017), as well as a six-time SEC champion. At the age of 19, Camacho-Quinn was faced with the choice of representing the United States or Puerto Rico internationally. She picked the island territory to honor her mother and her Puerto Rican ancestry.
When she started in athletics, she was not aware of the rules that she would be eligible to represent the United States or Puerto Rico. Although her immense potential and talent would have easily got her a place in the United States’ Athletics squad, yet she chose to represent Puerto Rico as it was her mother’s dream to represent Puerto Rico but she couldn’t. So, she wanted Jasmine to compete for Puerto Rico instead. Without any second thoughts or hesitation, Jasmine respected her mother’s opinion. She is one of the best athletes of the island nation in the present times.
