Olympic long jump gold medallist confirmed as member of USOPC reform panel
Wednesday, 3 February 2021
London 2012 long jump champion Brittney Reese has been confirmed as a member of the new Commission which will probe the state of the Olympic and Paralympic Movement in the United States.
The 34-year-old four-time world champion's nomination by Senator Roger Wicker was already known and has now been rubber-stamped.
Wicker had also previously named Beijing 2008 sailor John Dane, with the 70-year-old's selection also now announced.
The Olympians will be joined by two other selections - Denver Sports founder Robert Cohen and US Olympic Endowment chairman William Hybl - following an announcement from Wicker and fellow senator Jerry Moran.
