“I’m really happy with how things went today. The biggest thing for me is seeing such a big improvement compared to just a few days ago when I raced in Oslo. Even with the travel and being in a different country, I still improved a lot, and that makes me proud.
Dina clocked 10.93 showing some quite improvement and feels like she’s in the best shape. “Oslo was okay, but I knew I had more to give. I’ve been feeling like I’m in great shape, but there were a few things I needed to fix. So we focused on those, worked on them carefully and you could see the results today.”
