“It has been a rough month for me. I had to pull out of two Diamond League meetings earlier in the season because of my Achilles issues,” she said in a post-race interview.
“My expectations were not high coming into the trials. My aim was to take it slowly throughout the rounds and qualify for the Olympics. That is pretty much what I did,” added Thompson-Herah.
