After the long jumper-turned-singer became the British indoor champion on Sunday, Jazmin Sawyers hopes to hit the high notes on the Olympic stage next season. The 28-year-old actress is best known for her appearance on ITV's The Voice in 2017, when she came out of her blind audition. However, Sawyers also wants to be a leading figure in athletics and believes she has a chance to win a medal in Paris 2024 after placing eighth in the long jump final at Rio 2016 and Tokyo 2020. After winning the UK Athletics Indoor Championships in Birmingham on Sunday with a record jump of 6.73 meters, she said, 'I see myself on an Olympic podium.' "She is someone who could win a medal at European level, but not at world level."
