The 24-year-old left fans delighted with her explantion to a question that she seems to not understand well.

Paris Olympics 100m champion Masai Russell left fans in stitches in an Athlos Track Lingo Part 1 discussion.

The American was giving an explanation on what she knows about a Staggered start. As a way to capture the attention, she said: "If someone is saying Wooop! Wooop! That means you are getting walked down," Russell hilariously remarked before adding, "A staggered start is just the different lines that line you up in a way that ends up being the same distance but you don't start at the same point."

The 24-year-old has been vocal regarding Alexis Ohanian's Athlos event that was hosted for the first time in September and is set to become an annual women's-only competition. 

Russell has recently exposed the intense physical and psychological toll faced by college athletes, emphasizing inadequate support and compensation and calling for urgent changes to protect athletes' well-being.

In a candid conversation on the Sports Xposure Podcast, the 25-year-old athlete shed light on the insufficient compensation and support structures in place for college athletes who sacrifice so much for their sport.
