From world champ to NYPD: Lalonde Gordon’s next race

Lalonde Gordon, who once stunned the track world by overtaking Fred Kerley for gold at the 2017 World Championships, now wears an NYPD badge in New York City. Trading the roar of stadiums for the city’s streets, Gordon says his drive to serve comes from his Trinidadian roots and the values his mother instilled in him. He’s also running his own security company, bringing Olympic discipline to public safety. What do you think about athletes making such big career pivots? Can sports values really shape community service? #Sports #LalondeGordon #NYPD
