The rest of that last sentence was gonna be “…and now I’m an Olympian”
I can only be proud of how much I fought, both tonight and for the past 10 years of my life
Forever an Olympian 🫶🏽✨
here’s my story 🤍
the only reason i share it is that i hope it holds the power to inspire many and to give an understanding into the idea that sometimes you might never know what some athletes truly face before the start line 🤍❤️
thank you

Unpopular opinion:
So they’ve spent so long trying to make track and field a level playing field then make it unfair again by taking out the heats for a certain group of athletes 🤨
THE TRIO YOU NEVER THOUGHT YOU NEEDED 🥹🫶🏽
The most bubbly, sweetest & genuine souls you’ll ever meet. These two made an incredibly shy person like myself feel incredibly comfortable.
Thank you Lina & Laviai.
Great to run over the hurdles today at my home track
Massive thanks to
@JamesHillier78

@LeeValleyAC

Lina Nielsen 🇬🇧 ran an 11.49 100m PB and followed it up 45 minutes later with 23.19 (-0.4) in the 200m today in Johannesburg.
I’m not even surprised at this point. The 400m hurdles is gonna be very fun 🤭

@LinaFJNielsen
I can officially say that I’ve met two Olympic bronze medalists 🥹🫶🏽
It’s been so much fun following Lina and Laviai’s Road to Paris series. They’ve been so insightful, and it’s been intriguing to follow from their perspective!
PS: Watch until the end of the video. Trust me,
I definitely needed a wake up call before my last race of the season this week ✨
Also a massive congrats to

I'm going to go into this season with Maya Angelou's mindset: "Hoping for the best, prepared for the worst and unsurprised by anything in between" 🙌🏼
I actually can’t deal with the Brits at World Juniors! Gold and Silver in the 200m now! All performances tonight are being pulled out of the bag! Seriously World Class 👏🏽🇬🇧👏🏽🇬🇧👏🏽

In 2017, there was a foot injury. In 2022, multiple sclerosis struck. Now, it's third time lucky for twins Laviai and Lina Nielsen's hopes of belatedly running together for Britain.
