The 21 -year -old Friborg, of course is delighted to run in Diamond League “at home”. “I go out of a good training block, I feel in shape,” she said on Tuesday on a press conference, a new exercise for her. But after having run the 400 m in Friborg in 51”03, the Belfaux runner knows herself.
“This time is a marker who says that we have trained well,” she explains. It is good to train on 400 m to have this point of speed necessary at the end of an 800 m. “
Hodgkinson en super favorite
But in Lausanne, Audrey Werro will have to play elbows to place herself well from the first meters of race. The Friborg knows, the race should be played in very fast times. “Because the athletes present are all around the 1’57 and even 1’54 for Keely Hodgkinson, she said. This is what I am actually waiting for: having a quick race to have a good time. I am delighted to run against her (Red: Hodgkinson), it will be a great battle.”
The 23 -year -old Briton is a phenomenon. Olympic reigning champion, she had to fight against injuries to the hamstring for several weeks. But for her return to Silesia on Saturday, she struck very hard by cutting the line in 1’54”74, just 0”13 of her personal record, signing in passing the 9th best world performance of all time.
With such a locomotive, Audrey Werro hopes to descend under the 1’57. “It would be the dream of ending the season with a time below, admits the Friborg. This is something I have in a corner of my head. I aim for a personal record on this end of the season and I think I can do it here or at Weltklasse. In real life, you just have to wait for the right race and that all the conditions are met.”
