Gold 22.32
My parents, my sister, my grandma and my aunt are here. Plus soooo many Swiss fans. Thank you to you all, your support was wonderful. I am on cloud nine. I knew this race was going to be tough. I made sure to get a clean race. It is overwhelming to come home with two medals. These are really successful championships for me. Unfortunately our relay did not make it to the final. Dina Asher-Smith is a great athlete, but today it was me who won. This was an amazing season for me with a great indoors seasons, two national records and two medals now here in Munich, unbelievable. It is so crazy with the crowd here, so many Swiss fans. It was so much fun to run here. Yes, there was pressure for me to win a medal but for me this was a positive pressure because I knew that I was in shape and that I was ready. At the 2014 European championships in Zurich I was in the final, it was another level then. Since then I progessed a lot and I enjoyed this journey a lot.
Bronze 22.72
It's crazy! I'm speechless, I'm so happy. I didn't think it was possible in my first final, my first European Championships and now I am here with the bronze. It's amazing! I am so proud of myself, the year with the injuries and now it has been like a dream. I have amazing people around me which makes me so happy. I am looking forward to the next season.
Silver 22.43
This is ok. Obviously, I came here to win, and definitely in shape to win, I wanted to defend my title but Mujinga had run a fantastic race and that i it really. So, I'm not super happy, but at the same time, this was an amazing race. In the future, maybe I could do a bit more beyond athletics, you never know what the future holds. Right now, I am focussing on running fast, and being the best sprinter in the world - that's that really. After the season is over, my plan is to go on holiday - it's been a long year. Definitely go on holiday, and get ready for next summer. The recipe to stay on the to is to stay focused and patient. Before, I felt like I was just pushing and pushing to be better and better and that did not feel kind of right. It was so nice to hear so many fans to cheer for the home athletes and to see the fans in the German vests. It was amazing. A lot of my team mates are not very comfortable with such media attention but every athlete should work what is the best for them and to find their way.
