Katie Moon reached heights befitting her name in Tokyo with a gold medal in pole vault.
When I give you the go, you're gonna say anything you want and then you can clap it shut whenever you're ready. Katie, anything I want. Would you describe yourself as a late bloomer? Yes, I was very awkward in middle school. I had braces three times from fifth grade until junior year. I was awkward. I was obnoxious. I had a lot of energy. I didn't know what to do with, so I still don't. But you know, we grow into it a little bit. She is now an Olympic champion and the party is just getting started in Ohio. My name is K Moon. I am the Olympic champion in the bull vaults and I am from Cleveland, Ohio after winning the Olympic gold medal in Tokyo. Backs that up becoming the fourth Olympic champion who is a world champion. You've been on the top of the podium when you're up there. What are you thinking about my dad, my, my dad passed away when I was 16. And uh it's, yeah, I, I always think about him. She taps the inside of one of her track spikes in honor of her late father. He was the perfect girl dad because he was supportive in every sense. He found my club that I grew up going to for pole vault. He would take me to everything and sit there and listen to what the coaches were, were telling me. And then he would just regurgitate the information back. It was really fun because it was our thing without it feeling like it was his thing, it was like it became our thing together.
