Quotes Just listening to my body and what it needs during the recovery, Just coming in here with a fresh mindset and knowing that I have a lane in the final, and I belong here, and I want to compete. I knew Shelly was going to get out, Her 100 speed is unlike anyone else on this earth. I just wanted to go with her when she went. I was just looking forward to the chance to compete against international people, This is my first world-level championship. I haven’t got a chance to do that because of the pandemic or I’ve been hurt. So really soaking in these moments and cherishing them. It didn’t feel right to take credit for something that wasn’t true, Which is why I thought I needed to say something, knowing those contracts aren’t public. No one knows how much I’m making besides Puma and I. It’s especially harmful when it’s not true. It just subjected me to a lot of narratives. It’s not like my body has been subjected to anything too crazy or different, I think the biggest thing is just keeping my mental space good, getting ready to go into this. Keeping the pressure down, the nerves down, and let everything take care of itself. Abby Steiner Has Gone All Out This Season; Now She’s Going For A World Title, July 21 2022 We are heading to USA Championships. We’ll leave for that on Monday. So, really just kind of having that in mind and looking to make my first World meet. In order to do that, I will need to place in the top three in that meet. I’m running the 200m there. That’s the main focus right now and seeing what happens there and hopefully competing at Worlds in a few weeks. That was the best I’ve felt in a 200 all year, Everything just kind of came together for me. We had been chasing running 21 seconds for a very long time so it was just the relief of doing that and it all came together. Me and my family are figuring out those next steps right now. Nothing has been decided yet. My sister growing up, she was actually diagnosed with leukemia her senior year of high school so she was a big motivator for me once I started to really get into competitive sports. Just seeing her and how she dealt with adversity and how strong she was, I really wanted to go out there and compete for someone who couldn’t, that had sports taken away from them. I think my sister was really a source of inspiration for me growing up. It was super surreal, just reflecting back on the journey of everything and how much adversity we had to overcome, just with a pandemic and an Achilles injury when you think things are finally going well and you get another outdoor season taken away. It was so special, just that whole journey with Coach [Tim] Hall. My parents were able to be there. There were some tears shed for sure on the track but I think everything happens for a reason and all the things lead me to where I needed to be in that moment.
