Novlene Williams-Mills was the only Jamaican winner at Thursday’s Stockholm Diamond League meeting in Sweden.
Williams-Mills, a breast cancer survivor, won the women’s 400m in 52.29 ahead of Great Briatin’s Anyika Onuora 52.46.
'Every time I go into a race I expect to win, today though, the most important thing was to walk away healthy,” she was quoted by The Gleaner saying.
“It’s cold and the warm up wasn’t great so I’m glad to have run a good race and walk away in one piece,” said Williams-Mills, who led Jamaica at the mile relay title at last year’s Beijing World Championships.
