What was your hardest race?
It was my first 100m race returning to athletics as an adult. I was inspired by Usain Bolt in 2009 and I loved running the 100m; it’s the shortest, most common and prestigious race in athletics. As teenagers, we ran barefoot in South Africa in the 90s. It was not glamorous, but sports day was my Olympics. I came dead last in that first 100m race but I was determined to improve… so began my adult journey into sprinting.
