Her four consecutive World Outdoor titles place her among the greatest in any track and field event. She has also won three World Indoor titles, making her the most decorated triple jumper in history. Her Olympic gold in Tokyo added to her legacy, and her comeback from injury in 2025 demonstrated her resilience.
