🚨 BREAKING NEWS: EVAN JAGER ANNOUNCES HIS RETIREMENT

Evan Jager, a two-time Olympian for Team USA, is ending his professional track career at the age of 36. Jager is the most decorated U.S. steeplechaser in history, winning Olympic bronze in 2016 and World silver in 2017 along with seven straight national titles from 2012 to 2018.

Jager’s 8:00.45 personal best, set in 2015, is the American record and he owns nine of the ten fastest marks on the U.S. all-time list.

After years of injuries, Jager was able to make one last World team in 2022 and finished fourth at last year’s Olympic Trials.

Jager discussed his long, storied career on the CITIUS MAG podcast this week in an Exit Interview with @ChrisChavez.

🗣️ “I feel good about everything. I think there’s a lot of things that went into the decision. One, moving to Sweden changed things a lot. We moved here a year ago. I did a lot on my own last year, which I guess doesn’t really play a huge role in the decision, but timing-wise there were a lot of changes happening… It was pretty apparent. I think because I’m very happy with how my career went, it made the decision easy.”

🗣️ "Maybe things would have been different, maybe they would have been the same had I not gotten injured in 2023 going into 2024. I was riddled with injuries the last stretch of my career, which is unfortunate. I think I almost proved too much to myself in 2022 that I could fight through a really tough period of my career, fight through injuries, come out on the other side and have success.

It was almost too much proof to stop right there. I gave myself even more belief going into the 2023 and 2024 seasons. I still don’t have any regrets going for it again in 2024."
