Norwegian sprinter Ezinne Okparaebo posted an Instagram video on Sunday of a stair-jump workout that has gotten the internet's attention.
Norway’s fastest ever woman, Ezinne Okparaebo, can now add stair-jumping to her repertoire after posting a rather incredible workout video to Instagram on Sunday.

The two-time Olympian jumped upwards of six stairs at a time extending the length of the 29-step spectator seating area at a track and field stadium. The 27-year-old has run 11.10 for the 100m, a national record in Norway, and 23.30 for the 200m.
After seeing workout videos like this, it’s no surprise that Okparaebo possesses the explosiveness to set a national record in the marquee sprinting event.
The Imgur link, a copy of the Instagram video, has been seen more than 1.6 million times in the past 48 hours.
