Erin Jackson has made history, becoming the first Black American woman to win a World Cup speedskating race, per the Associated Press. 

The Ocala, Florida, athlete won the 500 meters in 37.613 seconds in the season opening in Poland on Friday. A day later, she broke her own record, finishing the second 500-meter race with a time of 37.555 seconds.

Jackson celebrated the victory in a tweet saying, “What a wild start to the season! My first two world cup medals are golden ones and I couldn’t be more excited!” 

“Two wins and a new track record for the 500m in Poland. Next up is World Cup 2 in Stavanger, Norway,” she added. 

This isn’t the first time Jackson’s rink prowess has earned her a place in speedskating history. In 2018, she became the first Black woman to qualify for a United States Olympic long-track speedskating team, only four months after starting the sport. 

At the Pyeongchang Games, Jackson finished 24th in the 500.
