Behind McKenzie Long’s Olympic debut, a mother’s love and a profound grief
New York TimesThe fabric was so soft and official. The speedsuit’s pink piping and yellow Adidas logo practically glowed against the kit’s deep purple, a color Adidas dubs “preloved fig.” McKenzie Long put it on and modeled in the nearest mirror, seeing how it complimented her skin tone, her muscles, the tattoo sleeve covering her right arm. “Let’s do this, mom.” “You got this baby girl.” When Long crosses the finish line, she’s got more words for the maternal spirit she keeps close. “Mom, I made a commitment to you, and as the strong woman you raised, there is no excuses,” Long wrote on Instagram a week before her mother’s “Celebration of Life” service. “I’m so inspired by her story,” Gabby Thomas said of Long.
