Great Britain's Matthew-Hudson-Smith has his sights set on bigger prizes after winning Olympic 400m silver at Paris 2024.
When the greatest prizes are decided by mere fractions, perspective is everything.When the Olympics took place three years ago, the Briton could not have foreseen his rise to the Olympic podium at Paris 2024.Despite everything that life has thrown at him, the 29-year-old could barely have gone closer to a magnificent golden triumph at the Stade de France.
He went on to win European silver at the age of 19 and, driven to maximise his potential, he undertook a significant change in 2017 when he relocated his training to Florida and temporarily lived with US sprint star Noah Lyles. Those events coincided with the Covid-19 pandemic and Hudson-Smith struggled with his mental health through three years of “absolute hell” as he remained isolated from his family in the United States.
Despite his limited preparations, he was far from satisfied, and he has had his eyes fixed on Olympic gold ever since.
