“I think making two Olympics was easier than trying to figure out what I want to do now.” Jourdan Delacruz has been competing as a weightlifter for ten years, from training as a highschooler at the US Olympic Training Center, to multiple international competitions, to both the Toyko and Paris Olympics. Meanwhile, she completed her degree in Nutrition and Dietetics, on her way to becoming a registered dietitian with the hopes of working with athletes like herself.
We caught up with Jourdan at the end of 2024, as an Olympic year winds down and she reflects on everything she’s accomplished to date. She’s in a time of transition, without clear next steps, but excited about a variety of possibilities. We loved hearing more about her training, competitions, Olympic experiences, and how she’s already supporting athletes with nutrition resources via HerAthlete.
