It's chalk FULLof white people that's why

On Friday, Erin Jackson became the first black woman to qualify for the U.S. Olympic long-track speedskating team, and the third-ever African American to make the U.S. Olympics team for speedskating, mere months after taking up the sport.



The Chicago Tribune reports that the 25-year-old Floridian finished third, coming in at 39.04 seconds in the 500-meter race in Milwaukee.

She now joins 17-year-old Maame Biney, who recently became the first black woman to qualify for the U.S. speedskating team with her short-track triumph in mid-December.

Jackson has reportedly only been long-track speedskating for four months, after switching over from in-line skating competitions, where she was a three-time roller-sports Athlete of the Year.
