Mario Jones was the fastest woman in the world at one point.
She had 3 individual events that she specialized in. The 100 meter dash, the 200 meter dash and the long jump. She also ran on the 4by100 meter relay. Marion Jones used to be my idol. I wanted to be just like her. I even wanted to do the long jump, knowing that was not for me. Marion always put in good times. Her running form was amazing, pumping her arms hip to chin. After the 2004 Olympics in Athens, Marion got pregnant. She had a beautiful baby boy. Marion continued to train and run afer the birth of her son. She didn't start back running fast right away, but over time she improved tremedously.
Her first Olympic title!
Many people questioned her ability to run as fast as she was after the birth of her son. I evened questioned it. Marion retired in 2007. Months after her retirement, sh confessed that she had used steroids. This was a total shock in the track and field world. Not only had she used steroids after tyhe birth of her son, she had been using them before then. All th medals that Marion had achieved over the years, she had to return them. Even the medals her relay team won, they also had to return their medals. Marion had to do 6 months in jail. I was told that Marion sed" All I do is RUN RUN RUN. If I am not running I am working out." She really felt bad after the whole ordeal was done. Marion confessed afted she retired, so she was safe. But if she would have confessed before her retirement, she would have been in big trouble.I am still don't know they took her medals if she confessed after she retired. They had their reasons. Marion had it made. She didn't have to confess. WAS HER CONSCIOUS GETTING THE BEST OF HER?
Marion Jones public confession!
