Gabby Thomas qualifies for the World Championships while suffering from Achilles issue
Gabby Thomas shared her reaction after earning qualification for the World Championships in Tokyo next month. The 3-time Olympic champion also revealed that she was dealing with an Achilles issue before the event.
In an interview after the event, Thomas said:
«I was definitely nervous. I thought I had it, but again, I didn’t know in that moment. So, you know, of course I was nervous, but I’m happy I made the team and now I have an opportunity to go back to Texas and focus and get ready for Worlds.
«Truthfully, I haven’t been able to train too much, which is kind of tough because I’m dealing with an Achilles issue. And so, you know, when you have to take a couple weeks off before USA, that’s never a good feeling. But I’m confident in what I’m able to do. I’ve had some good races under my belt this season. So, I had faith in that. But, yeah, you know, you always want to go USA’s healthy at the end of the day. So, it’s rough.»
After winning silver in the 200m at last year’s Worlds, Thomas will look to win the gold this time.
