Malaika Mihambo's Silver Medal is Worth Gold

Drechsler also spoke about Mihambo's potential for the future. "She is the future of German athletics," Drechsler said. "She has all the talent and determination to become one of the greatest long jumpers of all time."
Mihambo's performance at the Olympics is a sign that German athletics is in good hands. She is a role model for young athletes and an inspiration to all who witness her unwavering determination.
