She continued by saying that it was an honour to become an Olympian, but that it’s not the finish line for her, and that she wants to give a good performance for the next Olympic Games, which are set to take place in Tokyo.
Daniel Sidbury, and three-time Paralympic medallist Shelly Woods have won their respective men’s and women’s wheelchair races for the Westminster Mile. Sidbury told reporters that he was surprised by pleased by the outcome of the race.
