Track Athlete Shkyiah Upson goes Viral!

Shkyiah Upson is a 20 year old Australian who has gone viral on TikTok.

She has competed in one track event that I can see, where she placed 5th, which makes her good enough for me.

Whether she's on the global level of star track athlete or not doesn't really matter, because she's a star on the social media machine, which is where athletics count.

Her time on the 400 m at the event was 58.67, where top runners are breaking 50 seconds and the world record is 47.60.

In this world, just showing up is what matters.
