Speaking after the race, Amusan stated that she was not surprised she ran that fast in such a low-key event.
“I didn’t have any idea, It felt so good, so easy. I wasn’t surprised, I’ve been working hard ever since I got back from (indoor) nationals. I don’t go into competitions with theidea of running a time. I go into competitions trying to execute my race. It showed.”
