Tianna Bartoletta is an American track and field athlete who specializes in the long jump and short sprinting events. Born on August 30, 1985, in Elyria, Ohio, she has been active in the sport since 2001, starting around age 15. With 25 years of experience, she has become a two-time Olympian and a three-time gold medalist.

At the 2012 Summer Olympics, she placed fourth in the 100m race and then won her first gold by leading off the world record-setting 4 × 100 m relay team. Four years later, at the 2016 Summer Olympics, she added two more golds: first with a personal best in the long jump, then again as the leadoff runner for the victorious 4 × 100 m relay team. Beyond Olympic success, she has claimed the long jump World Championship twice, in 2005 and 2015, and the World Indoor Championship in 2006.

In 2012, she also competed as a pusher on the U.S. bobsled team. In August 2020, it was announced that she would join SPIRE Institute and Academy as an ambassador, alongside other athletes like Ryan Lochte and Elizabeth Beisel, to emphasize development in athletics, academics, character, and life. Standing 5'6" with a slim build, she continues to be a prominent figure in her field.
