She's an amazing athlete but this is first time she'll really be competing at top class (Iaaf didn't deem it a good idea to let her run in London, instead 4 years later give her an even more expensive trip & run in a climate she's not used to).
When was junior she was the only European to split the Africans (she came 2nd world junior championships).
She then lost 4 years on & off due to i
She got bronze there at the euro games a few weeks ago, but that was a very slow race.
If the olympics races are too fast she'll struggle, but if it's a fair pace she's quietly confident of a podium. 4 years time expectations will be even higher. She is a powerful talent. Any time I've seen her run she really puts on an entertaining & exciting race.
