Jodie Williams in Paris, its Third Olympics
Paris was such interesting, because it was another similar experience. I’m for me. I have only been once in the championship just for the relay. Umm, that’s not something I’ve ever enjoyed. And as I said I think I’ve ever done it once and in any other year I’ve had it Revealed, I rejected the position. But for me, in 2024, nothing was right. I was running a lot, very bad. I was really mentally fighting. Knowing I was Also coming to the end of my careerIt was difficult Push to the end, especially an event, as cruel as 400. It’s hard to push when it is not rightA number
And 400 simply bothered that before I had not hindered me. I had some odd symptoms that went on in the body. So it was mentally challenged for me that year, even reaching the end of 400. Every time I stood in the line, I didn’t want to be there, and it’s just really hard, very heavy and very painful. And again, clean threads with me pulled me back. I had previously spoken to the voters, and they were very similar. “We need to see a lot to these champions.”
I managed to take out something from the bag so that they considered me, and then we finished that medal with all 8 girls in the chair, and it was just a unique experience. And it’s just meant to me, because I was just there for the relay, and I was one of the older athletes, it was a very different role than I used to. Frankly, it was very good Try it on other side. It is obvious that still there is pressure, but I knew that there was fewer pressure on me than in an individual event, so I felt that I could give small athletes Be a little more guide. And just really really enjoy it for me. Frankly, it was my most pleasant Olympics. So it was a great experience and way Close items.
2020 (or truly 2021) games are such odd. It was for me. I don’t want to close. The so much part of this sport is the time and fortune, those things have never been with me. I think I always had the talent, and I’ve always been a very hard worker, but many things just didn’t work … just time, or I was a lot of time.
Thus, 2021 were just one of those years, and I think any athlete would tell you that sometimes you just have the years where everything is beautiful. Everything just got perfect for me, even the way from medaling Inside the European, against obviously large-caliber athletes, then that momentum is wearing outside. That season has not been received, which is ignored, especially for a athlete like me, and there were many longing. Yes, I was injured in that whole year that he just never entirely on the edge, so I was really successful. In previous years I had similar injuries that I fed, then one race took me out, and I had finished the season. So I think 2021 was one of the most beautiful ways for me. I think I had only two in my career. In 2014 and 2021, where everything just went to the program. And for me, the Olympic final race was like confirming that we didn’t deceive how you actually do this good. You belong to this caliber of athletes that established something in my spirit.
Just making this final single in a new event, and I only run four 400s from that year, I walked And medalized inside, then the Olympic final, two retroactions with 49. I would send a present in the bag when it was most important every time. At that time, I accumulated that it was not enough to reach that medal, which would be such a wonderful end to such a wonderful season, but I couldn’t really be upset. I went for that, I took a risk, got strong and had no legs.
That you have received your PR in the Olympic final (and in the past 200 PR in European final) tells something about your ability to produce it.
I have always been a championship performer. And how did I get to the end of my career? I became even more. So I’ve always been someone who needs a little pressure and I just need something on the line to get it out of the bag, if I find the best of my season always There will be when it is important during trials and championships. And it can be a little risky, definitely. I have always been that athlete. Sometimes I just struggled to find the other tribes. I am someone who really needs a reason to deal with and I have to be very passionate so I can pull something sometime. I’m not just motivated for diagies. Money and things have never been motivated to me. So I’m just Fighting was done in the tribes when nothing was nothing but money.
