The Jamaican Rojé Stona won Olympic Games gold in Paris – now the discus thrower will try to switch track and field for American football.
The 25-year-old is one of fourteen athletes who have been selected by the NFL for a ten-week long camp in January.
At stake: A contract.
I've done my research and understand how much work it's going to take, he says to the British BBC.
Earlier this year, the track and field athlete was invited to a rookie camp with the NFL teams Green Bay and New Orleans.
Rojé Stona reached 70 meters at the Stade de France and won ahead of Mykolas Alekna, Lithuania, and Australian Matthew Denny.
Swedish star Daniel Ståhl, who was the reigning Olympic champion, threw 66.95 meters and finished seventh in the Olympic final.
