General Interest

General
CONSIDERING QUITTING
During the time when she was sidelined with a knee injury, she thought about giving up sport. She did a drama course at Kingston University London and considered becoming an actor, until her family persuaded her to give athletics another go. "I don't like to always bring up my knee injury, but that was the stem of everything. It felt like I had lost something. I had lost a part of me. I wanted to give up. And when you're at that point of just giving up, that's when you're meant to really turn your life around and change. Only as years go by do you understand how to fix things. Coming as a world junior champion in two sports, dislocating my knee, tearing every single ligament, fracturing a bone and having to come back from that, not many people knew how to handle that situation. Because of how many years I missed, I've still got those years to get back. I feel I still have the potential to make a world and Olympic final." (telegraph.co.uk, 01 Mar 2019, 15 Feb 2014; thekidshouldseethis.com, 08 Sep 2020)

Milestones

She became the first female British athlete to win gold in the 100m at the world youth championships, when she claimed victory at the 2007 edition of the tournament in Ostrava, Czech Republic. (telegraph.co.uk, 14 Nov 2007; SportsDeskOnline, 24 Jun 2020)
