'The more pressure, the quicker I run' - Thomas Young is out to follow in the footsteps of an Olympic legend at Paris 2024
'The more pressure, the quicker I run' - Thomas Young is out to follow in the footsteps of an Olympic legend at Paris 2024
“The really great champions, like Usain Bolt, defend their big titles – that’s what I want to do. When you’ve won a Paralympic gold you really just want another one,” said Young.“I like the pressure, the more pressure, the quicker I run. I’m in the best form I’ve ever been and just being at the Paralympics brings back all those good memories.
“I’m not sure what it’ll take to win but we know the track is really fast from the Olympics. The world record was set just a few weeks ago and perhaps it’ll take that too. I’ve also said being the world record holder was the dream.”He spent more than a year working with coach Joe McDonnell in Loughborough to get back to full fitness.
American Jayden Blackwell is the current world champion – and clocked the world record 10.72 seconds in Miramir last month – while China’s Zhou Peng and France’s Dimitri Jozwicki have been posting some eye-catching times too.But a 10.92 second personal best at the recent London Diamond League underlines why Young won’t be letting go of this title without a scrap.
