‘I can’t believe I ran that fast’: Speedy Jenneke spikes shoe debate | mickgleeson
Australian hurdler Michelle Jenneke still can’t believe how fast she ran at the recent world championships, and it wasn’t because of the shoes she wore in the women’s 100m hurdles competition.
Earlier in the championships, American hurdler Sydney McLaughlin broke the 400m hurdles world record wearing New Balance’s version of the shoes. She blitzed her previous personal best of 12.82, and is now the second-fastest Australian woman behind Sally Pearson. That is good company. “It was incredible. Honestly, a career goal that I have had for a while was to run 12.60 anything so to have done that and achieved that, I am weirdly content, which is odd for an athlete.“Sally ran 12.28 - let’s not pretend I am anywhere close to where Sally was, she was phenomenal, she could run that time any day of the week, which is incredible.
