Off the Pitch
Morolake Akinosun the athlete who can tell the future perfectly
In addition to being an Olympic runner, Morolake Akinosun is also a prophet.
Akinosun qualified for the Olympics at just 22 years old. She will head to Rio this week with hopes of medaling in the 4×100-meter event, and in December will be graduating from the University of Texas. (It’s quite the 2016.)
Who could have predicted this? Well, how about her her 17-year-old self — back when she was still in high school and didn’t even know where she’d be going to college.
She hasn’t yet tweeted the results of all the Olympic events, but maybe she’s building suspense for the coming weeks.
