Tokyo 2020 Olympics
When asked about whether the reality of being a bronze medalist has hit him yet, Jerome said, “I’m trying to hold out the celebration for now and try to just wait until I finish the season.” Looking back, Jerome remembered watching the 2016 Rio Olympics as a spectator and then described his emotions as he arrived in Tokyo, “It was a pretty surreal feeling. I was happy and it was exciting to be there, but I knew at the end of the day I have a job to go do.”
