    Overwhelmed. Incredibly grateful to my peers. Humbled beyond belief. All of the emotions.

    It’s been a fabulous blur, track & field. 😌 Really, a life-defining, irreplaceable, horizon-expanding, treasured blur. I’ll miss you. Watch @WeltklasseZH on Peacock, tonight at 8:20pm local time. 6 more throws! 🥰 📸: @HowLao

    Choosing this photo tho 🥹🥰🫶
    Goodbye… or take the bye?? With a 64.98m throw, @karathrowsjav wins the javelin at the Diamond League final and secured a wild card entry into the 2023 World Championships. If anything can talk her out of retiring… maybe a ticket to Budapest will do it?? 👀

    Thank you for this article, @TeamUSA 🥺🥰🇺🇸
    At age 36, in her native Pacific Northwest, after two ACL surgeries, in her last season, in her last throw, in her last championships, @karathrowsjav won her first global medal. The 4x Olympian is leaving sport fulfilled, with a community and impact that go beyond the field.
