Gold 49.44 EL
I think that this race was harder than the 400m hurdles. After the race I realized that it wasn't so close race. I got the great lane as my strongest competitiors were running in the outside lanes. This is my first gold medal at the outdoor championships. I know that I won't sleep a lot today so tomorrow's 400m hurdles semi-final is gonna be tough.
Bronze 50.29
This time, I think I did it according to my plan becasue I was supposed to do like really fast 300m. But I do not know why, I was so far away and when I came out of the second bend, I just realized I was coming fift. So I knew I really had to fight. I kept telling to myself like You can do this, you can do this... Then I came with the bronze medal and it was like a dream. After the 200m, I was thinking that was too slow - I was supposed to run 23.9 and then continue like this. Now, I cannot say what happened. I cannot complain right now, I got a bronze medal at almost the end of my career - I am 32-years-old, even 4 years ago, I would not dare to dream about this. And now, here I am with the bronze medal.
Silver 49.94
I came with already one target - to win a medal. I was even thinking about gold but Femke was definitely better today so I am perfectly OK with it. The silver medal counts and I am also glad for the time under the 50s despite the fact that I think I could have run the first half a bit faster. As a Polish team, we proved that we are very strong and we got these two medals. I did not want to risk the start and I believed I could get over Femke in the home straight but it ended like this. We were well prepared for this and I hope we can show something big as a team also in the relay.
Gold 49.44 EL
I am very happy. I think that this race was harder than the 400m hurdles. After the race I realized that it wasn't so close race, I won by 50 seconds and with the big personal best. I felt very confident today, as well as very strong. I got the great lane as my strongest competitors were running in the outside lanes. This is my first gold medal at the outdoor championships. I know that I won't sleep a lot today so tomorrow's 400 m hurdles semi-final is gonna be tough.
