Lauren Williams Championship race
In 2005, Lauri Williams officially the fastest woman in the world won the World Championship in Helsinki in 10.93. Last year he surprised himself in the Athens Olympics and in the second place with Veronica Campbell (who had not yet added “Nesterenko’s eighth in the World Championships and did not reach the final of the 2008 Olympics. When he was a part of the Compiled by the Soviet Union, the questions could be asked about his stellar presentation. I would like to note that your correspondent asks questions, not by Lorur.
As Lauri explained in the previous article, competing at the 2004 Olympic Games did not actually be his radar. He describes himself as a kind of deer in the headlights. I had no idea that this opportunity came to my way in the earlier year, “adding. What if I do if I win? ” When I mentioned that he came to the second, his pity was the answer. “And the second is good, but that’s not the first.”
Then, in 2005, the official title of the world came and the unofficial demand in the world. Remembering it almost 20 years later, he told me. “2005 is so long ago. But I know that the fact that it was pressured for me, it was reducing my first Olympic Games since 2004. And so, in 2005, first of all, really reached the finish line. And it was like that, it’s good, I can be the fastest person in the world. I’m the fastest person in the world at the moment. So, it was a sense of the benefit of a beneficial type after 2005 after 2005. “
In the 2007 world champions, he took silver in the Campbell of Veronika. Both athletes received a watch at 11.01, and after a long wait, Campbelli was awarded the second of the second one. It was not the best hour of our sport, and the process lasted 30 minutes, which decided who won. Williams remembers. In that case, we have to wait about 30 minutes to confirm Veronica as a gold medalist. ” Lajja also helped the United States to take gold in a 100-100-100 release team, including Allyson Felix, Mikes Barber and Torri Edvards.
“I almost did not compete due to injury in the 2007 World Championships. I almost gave my place, because it was like such days, I can run, I can’t go for a few days, and I don’t know what day will be the day. I preferred to have only a medal for the United States than no medal because I couldn’t compete, so after winning the gold medal was like a gold medal. And then for them, unable to decide who won. … “:
At the 2008 Olympics, 100m was AMA 1-2-3 Sharon-Anne Fraser, Sharon Simpson and Keron Stuart, Williams Fourth. Sherone Simpson and Kerron Stewart have been awarded joint silds without bronze. For Lauri, this brought back the memories of the previous year and 2004. I haven’t seen it coming. But in 2008 I was a favorite for winning because the 2004 gold medal warranted in sunset. So everyone is on me in the eyes and I didn’t live hippie. And so it was hard because I was in great condition in 2008. And I don’t know this day, how or why? Everything happens for a moment. If we ran the race 15 minutes ago, 15 minutes later or maybe 15 seconds ago and 15 seconds later. It could be another result. It was not a lack of fitness. But that result was what happened, and I had to swallow it.
“What was really difficult for them in 2007 for about 30 minutes to decide whether Veronica Campbell or I won the World Championships. And they ended that he won. And I got to a point where I was like, why can’t we get 2 gold medals? How if you can’t actually decide? And then in 2008 they gave 2 silver medals. So they gave gold and two Sils and decided immediately. And I was like, well, so last year we had to choose someone, but this year you say they both get silver. And it is very important for us for the path and field, because our contracts say different things, so silver medalist, gold medalist, I would be a gold medalist. So it would be less money because I would return backwards … all these different opportunities missed. ” That he beat Shelly-Ann a week later, he did not help, because “no one thinks when the Olympic Games are not.” And so, yes, it was a hard time. “
In 2009, he was the fifth in 100 m and won another gold medal in Relya. For the 2012 London Olympics, he did not make a 100 m team, but was an unfinished business with an unfinished business Olympic relays in the US team, which did not manage to obtain in the battle. “For me, the London’s relay medal is probably the most important thing, because now I realize what it means that it was just such an alternative. I didn’t realize, but the Lord was preparing me to be ready for Bobsley, because the path and field is a very individual sport, aside when we gather 4 people together. We have very little chemistry, we are competitors, and that’s good, you are out of the race to find out how to win as a team. “
As a senior athlete, the two former Olympic Relay failures greatly weighed on him. Run what I have gone through all the ways to games and they were not going to be a period of time. And it’s a very humble area, but it’s a time where you really need to build some character, because at that moment it was the most important thing for me to get medals.
“In 2004, I am sure that we could break the world record. 2008 I’m sure we could break the world record, but you don’t get a record if you don’t finish the race. And so I think I knew more than that team. I knew how important it was that we had good chemistry to at least we could finish the race because we could be easy. And that knowledge and that wisdom entered that third opportunity was something I think I had contributed to the team. Yes, I ran in the first round. I successfully received around for which I am thankful. But looking back into it, I think that my investment behind the staff was trying to provide each other. We actually had good energy on the starting line. “
And he went home with an Olympic gold medal.
