La réaction d'Elaine Thompson
"I am thankful I crossed the line healthy. I am already in the books so I am happy for that. Iam just focusing on myself - on my start, on my execution and to be confident over the line.
Obviously, it is more about the time after all these events and my health always comes first. I know everybody is thinking I am targeting the world record, but... I know it is close but for this season I am already superhappy.
Whatever I come close tot this record, I am superhappy for that at the end of the season. This time is good for me. Fashion is everything for me - the make up, the clothes... I think it is also important for the athletes.
If you are an athlete running 10.7, you have to bring yourself. It just feels good. Hopefully, one day I will also have some time to cook a bit more. Because I am a Jamaican, I cook much Jamaican stuff but I can cook many cousine styles - I like Italian food and so on. I like to taste everything what is not my style."

La réaction de Fred Kerley (record perso sur 200m)
"Nice Personnal Best, but still I have a lot to do. Comparing the events - 200, 400... every race has its own parts. One is hard and one is just like that - fast.
I think the 200m is harder than people think, more technical. I like to beat anybody. If they beat me, I like to beat them too."
