Description
Simon Rosselli just rewrote history—shattering the U.S. discus record with a jaw-dropping 66.39m throw to win gold at the World Athletics U20 meet, clawing his way from fourth place in a nail-biter. The victory came amid personal turmoil: his family evacuated during wildfires, leaving him heartbroken for others but hopeful for Spokane’s recovery. Now aging out of U20, he heads to Oregon with a heavier discus—but first, a well-earned break after what he calls the longest season of his life. His coach, TJ Crater, was there every step, whispering “drive and relax” as Rosselli chased greatness—and now, both coach and athlete know this moment will live forever.
