Third 23.05 q
Since I was a young runner it has always be a dream of mine to run in the Olympic stadium and now I even made it to the final here! Tomorrow I still want to improve my race and get a sub 23 time. The weeks before these championships were not easy. 4-5 weeks ago I did hardly train because of injuries and sicknesses. I am really glad to have become fit and in shape on time. My team achieved this, i.e. my family, frriends, coaches, mental coach. I really enjoyed running here, even at the jump seat I was optimistic because of my time and being on the first jump seat. It is not a problem for me to now swith my focus to the 4x100m relay tomorrow. My goal had been to make it to a final, but I rather thought it would be the 100m final.
Winner 22.53 Q
I felt great during the race, I just wanted to make sure that I win it and qualify to the final. The weather is not a problem for me. I am fom the UK, I am used to the rain so I was like "come on, it's raining all the time down there." If it's sunny, you come and race, if it's raining, you come and race. I had a minor injury. I have injured my nerve during the relay in Eugene. I took a week off and now I am in the pretty good shape. Looking forward to the final.
Second 22.92 Q
[About her good progress but still not making it to an individual podium] Honestly, I have no idea what what else I have to do in the final to finally make that podium, because I always do what it takes. This was a weird race, because I haven't done the 200 for some time, so, I don't know, let's wait for it tomorrow.
