European U23 Champion is heading to Birmingham as a high-quality 400 million urgency
As Birmingham’s Novuna Athletics Championship is approaching this weekend (August 2-3), a name that causes great excitement to Emily Nunham. The 21-year-old chapters hinder the wave of shakes, refresh the record gold in the European U23 championships, where he watches on 54.08.
At the top he left Bergen, a second gold medal as part of the winning 4x400m relay team.
After the standard season, Newnham is now going to test itself once. This time the best in the country.
“I think I’m just excited, I’m saying,” Nunham said. “British champions are another interesting opportunity to go out there and feel the level of those expectations.”
This year, Nyunham arrives in British championships with new types of opportunities, one who has never had before, not only to compete, but also lead.
“There are competitive environments that you will get at the senior level, where you will be preferable,” he said. “Therefore, it is important to feel what that expectation is.”
Nyunham is an obstacle to the fastest woman on paper and is joking about the pressure that comes with “Bib’s colors.”
“I have not had to be at the British champions two years ago, when I came to the third third. I think I ran like 57.13, “he said. “So I hope it will be a stronger race.”
The ultimate goal, of course, will be established in the World Tokyo Championships. The already secured qualification time will go to the first two graduation this weekend, the World Championship will be reduced.
The British Championship and Tokyo will be transferred to the spotlight.
“I’d like to do some more than 400. I have to go down 200 times too. I feel that I’m not exercised forever, “he said. “I hope everything is going well with British champions and I will get my Tokyo’s choice. Then the eyes will be on Tokyo and just to see how much I can get there.
The path of this point has not been clear, and Nunham’s openly admits to the extent to which the posters of his past have shaped his development. Two years ago, he missed the end of the chair at the European Under-20 Championships. But not allowed him to bound himself, he used it as motivation.
“I was not ready to mentally. I was ready for physically and capable, but I just didn’t have a mental headscarf. “
Since then, he has laid psychological work to work with a sports psychologist, making more efficiently to build nerves and tools to compete with trust.
He also learned how to feel the success of the escape in elite sports. Even after the main victory, the desire to go to the next challenge is quickly launched.
“The disappointment of U20 is left with me for those two years, while winning almost feels that you just pass the next thing,” he said.
“I don’t think you really have time to sit down and think about the end of the season,” he said. “It’s not really real now.”
Next to his individual performances, this season was also seen by Nonuham, prospered in the relay environment. He was a part of the UK 4×400 m squads, gathering silver and bronze medals at European indoor championships in the bronze mixed relay, women.
This team environment was a valuable educational area, in particular, with experienced athletes of Lina and Laviai Nielsen, which offers support in vague.
“I remember the Bahamas world of releases panicks because I thought I could run,” he said. “But Lina and Lavia always said to worry and that I ran.
“Seeing how they act in that environment, even in advance in the Holding camp, you end up in the day of how they cook.”
Ask Nyunham how he found himself in the hindrements of 400 m, and the answer comes quickly. “I think I’m pushed,” he said. “I have always been a great lawyer that we will not specialize early. I was the land of the cross, the sprinter, even threw. The arrows were probably a lot of step. “
It was the comprehensive background from the cross-country to Pentatlon. It helped him to discover where his strength was putting.
“We have realized that I received speed, but I can do a cross-country,” he said. “And then my head coach Paul said:” Let’s try 300 million obstacles. ” I was like what it was. “
That initial probationary period turned into something more serious, and eventually a breakthrough event.
“I ended that I liked it more than 300 m, and now the obstacles seem to be stuck.”
