Yah!!! I made it to the final!!!!!! I know there were plenty of people on the verge of cardiac arrest as I saved my pass to the final for the final jump!!! Sorry guys. Well anyhow. You can't believe how happy I am right now. This is an amazing feeling. I don't know when any of you will have the opportunity to perfom in front of 90,000 people, but I will tell you one thing, it is not easy!! What I have learned to do is love the eyes. I love the fans, I love it when I get get cheers from strangers. I love when someone see's me outside the stadium and tells me they saw me jump and enjoyed it. Amazing!! Well anyhow, I am ready and pumped for tomorrow. There is nothing to lose. One thing I promise is that I will do my best!!!
See you all soon!
Funmi K

I saw you in Stockholm (DN-galan) and I KNOW that you can do it.
-Go and get them tiger :)

Hello Funmi it's me again your cuz from Florida. I did not realize that we could type comments until today. However, I will be writing and wishing you the best until the very end. I have stayed up late every night wanting to see you but my channels do not show the long jump. I look forward to reading your daily journal that's how I stay informed.
Wishing you the best, know that with God ALL THINGS Are Possible.
