This ‘E:60’ Piece on Vashti and Randall Cunningham Is Great

Vashti Cunningham will be competing in Rio in just a few weeks in the high jump, looking to become the first American woman to win a gold medal in the high jump since 1988.

She’s 18 years old and 6’1″. Her father is former Eagles quarterback Randall Cunningham. He’s also her coach. Here’s the E:60 piece on the Cunninghams and how Vashti’s journey to the 2016 Summer Olympics unfolded. [Side note: I love how Randall bribes her to motivate her. Press play and see what I’m talking about.]
