Last November in Poland she added to her trailblazing resume when she became the first Black woman to win a World Cup race. At that event, Jackson clocked 37.613 seconds, beating 2018 Olympic champion Nao Kodaira\u00a0of Japan by .13.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Jackson is ranked no. 1 in the world and the 500m is her signature event, so everyone expected her to lead the field and qualify. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But disaster struck when Jackson stumbled, finished third and failed to qualify for the U.S. Olympic team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It was a devastating moment for the young sprinter. Her only hope of making the team was for one of the competitors to drop out or give up their spot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Fortunately for Jackson, that&#8217;s exactly what happened.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In a heartwarming, selfless gesture, U.S. speedskating star Brittany Bowe, who qualified first in the 500-meters, relinquished her spot to Jackson.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">&quot;Erin has a shot to bring home a medal \u2013 hopefully a gold medal \u2013 and it\u2019s my honor to give her that opportunity.
