POSITIVE POSTPONEMENT
She believes that she has benefited from the extra time she has had to prepare for the 2020 Olympic Games in Tokyo due to the postponement caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. "The pandemic has been a blessing for me, as my coach [Maurice Wilson] was able to spend more quality time working on my weak areas in training and everything is coming to perfection. There have also been some personal changes in my life and this has helped me to have a more positive outlook on things. It has helped me to be more focused and I am now more mature. I just want to remain healthy and be consistent." (jamaica-gleaner.com, 28 Apr 2021)
