“I am excited to be out here competing, and it is great to get the win on the back of Lausanne (silver),” Amusan said.

“The rain stopped, but it was still very cold.” I am not very happy with where I am but I trust in the process even when it is not necessarily processing right.”

The games in Stockholm, Sweden, feature some of the world’s best and brightest track & field athletes.
