As a kid, I was a pretty good little sprinter.
When I was younger, I used to be a high jumper before I switched to hurdles.
I could produce spurts of speed and after taking up athletics I found myself running quite quickly over 400m.
A lot of people think track, you just run, that's all you do. No. There's a lot of technical aspects to it as well. A sprinter is not just going to get out of the blocks and start running. You do that, you're going to get embarrassed every time.
I love standing up behind the blocks, and I love that moment just before you dive in and it goes quiet, and you take a deep breath and you just dive, and then you try and win, but that moment just before I go, that's why I race.
The 200 m. is the event I want to get better at.
I used to run 800 metres for the school.
I have been running since I was 7. I was trying to restructure the way my body was made instead of trying to master the way I ran. I would get so frustrated with my starts in practices that I would just cry. When I ran, I wouldn't even try to get out of the blocks, I would just run.
When you have good runners, you always run fast. That's the motivation for me. But I have room to improve in my technique and in the start.
I always wanted to be a sprinter.
I just want to execute a good 200 m. and see what is the best I can do.
