Today was something to ask for… So to run 10.9 low is realy great, and it’s very exciting to be getting so close to my PB.
I went into the race with no expectations and I think that is the best way to race… This gives me so much confidence going forward. It shows where I belong and hopefully I can get into the big championship races.
What’s next
With these strong performances, the athletes look forward to upcoming competitions, aiming to build on their success and secure spots in major championship races. Thay hope to continue to improve their role on the world stage.
