For long jumper Sawyers, Ultimate payday gives her a chance to train ... and a new sewing machine

British long jumper Jazmin Sawyers took second in her event, so she did not get a medal or a trophy or the first prize of $150,000. She did get $75,000, though, which in track and field, can make a huge difference. She says it means she'll have the funds to train full time in an attempt to make her third Olympics, two years from now.
