Olympic silver medalist Sandi Morris joins us in Budapest after winning her first outdoor global title in pole vault, closing out a rollercoaster season with a 4.90m clearance. Sandi talks about the long road from collecting outdoor silver medals to finally getting her gold, working with new coach Brooke Rasnick, and why she believes she's only getting started.

She also breaks down the strategy behind her winning jump, including switching to bigger poles and making split-second decisions with her coach in the middle of the competition. Plus, she explains why she passed 4.85m, how she knew the door was open when Hana missed at 4.90m, her plans for LA 2028, and more.
