Fresh off a 17.02-metre comeback jump at the Rome Diamond League, Jaydon Hibbert says Turkey helped rebuild him mentally and emotionally after a devastating injury, while accusing Jamaican sporting officials of failing to support him during one of the darkest periods of his career.
The Jamaican-born triple jumper made the remarks during an interview with The Inside Lane following his season-opening performance, which marked a significant step in his return from a bone injury that sidelined him since the Paris Olympic Games.
“My mind is so full right now. I’m lost for words, but I’m feeling so good. I am so excited, I’m so happy, I’m so thankful to God,” Hibbert said.
