WE DID IT!!! OLYMPIC MEDALLISTS!!!! we waited 5 years for this moment. We are just 4 ordinary girls from London with big dreams. If you can see it you can BE it. Speechless right now ❤️❤️❤️🥉🥉🥉
Your girl is officially going to be an Olympian!🇬🇧
Excited to represent my country on the biggest stage in the world in the 4x100m! Let’s bring home that medal 🥇♥️🇬🇧
Not gone exactly how I would’ve planned, but going celebrate this milestone of going to my first ever Games!
Tokyo, thank you ❤️🇯🇵. After spending 14 days in isolation, it was a sweet surprise to leave with a medal. Thank you to everyone who has been a part of my journey for this last Olympic cycle. This is just the beginning, time to get after what I want 🌎👍🏽
These two medals mean the world to me! not because of their colour, but because I’m starting to evolve into the athlete I always dreamed of being. These medals are just a lil milestone on my journey to great things. Thank you to my team who believed in my dreams!
Sooo.. I might have written a play whilst out at the Olympics ☺️. It’s always been a dream of mine to write and “Armour Of Gaza” explores my identity, career and culture, as well as celebrating being from Peckham. Final tickets are out tomorrow on

2020 100M BRITISH CHAMPION!! 😊😊🌟🌟 All of those months training in my local field with Dad have paid off 😂 a huge huge thank you to my incredible team for supporting me in what has been a crazy year! Hope I was able to put a smile on people’s faces this evening! ♥️
Woww! In the last two weeks I’ve made it to my first ever senior champs, my first ever senior final in my most consistent year ever. This time last year I would’ve never thought I’d be the 6th fastest woman in Europe. So happy but never satisfied! This is just the beginning 💪🏽
I’m so so proud of the ladies showing that no matter the situation we can still show up and hold our own with the rest of the world. Heartbroken to have had to pull out the final after injury in warm-up, but I had to put the team first. Proud to be a World Silver Medallist ♥️🇬🇧
Pleased to run a SB of 11.15 into a big -1.4 headwind to take the win today. I was so down after Olympic Trials. But to any young athletes, belief and betting on yourself ALWAYS is key. Looking forward to taking this form into a strong relay leg for the team. ♥️♥️
I’m obviously gutted that I didn’t get the chance to show what I was capable of in this competition! But the fuel towards the next level for me is so immense. Proud of the composure it took to run 11.04s under protest. Onto the relays! 🩷✌🏽🇬🇧 God’s plan!

Brick by brick mindset! Today I took almost half a second off my 200m PB today in 22.93 & ran a meeting record of 11.15w in the 100!! Thanks to my 10/10 team

Despite the injuries/setbacks, I see a lot to be learned from the scars this year + even more excited for what the future holds for me. Even still, 2 PB’s, a World Silver Medallist & semi-finalist at 21 🥰 Grateful to God!! Back to the drawing board
I FINALLY FINISHED MY DEGREE 😭🍾 what a manifestation; my dream uni & my dream degree. Those closest to me know how much blood, sweat and (many) tears I put into juggling this alongside a professional athletics career. A huge thank you to

Feeling grateful♥️ coming back after a quad tear a few weeks ago has been one of the most challenging things I’ve had to do. But today I’m so proud of myself for bouncing back after a rusty re-start to the season with 11.20😊 look forward to running better in

And just like that indoors is DONE! 🙏🏽🙏🏽 What an experience lining up with the best in the world in Glasgow. Glad to hold my own, and come away healthy & excited for what’s most important!!!

And a solid series in the 100m too, including a new seasons best! Always, of course, striving for more, focused on being better, but leaning into patience in the bounce back this year! 🫶🏽
