It was as if she was directing all her energy into the path. She stunned her two years ago, when in one day she defeated two athletic legends for junior world records. With a time of 10.75 s on the 100, she beat Marlies Göhr from the GDR after 42 years, with a performance of 22.17 s on the 200-year-old compatriot Allyson Felix.

In Florida, she ran a time of 10.72 seconds, when she was amazed especially by the incredible acceleration in the last thirty meters. And suddenly even Florence Griffith-Joyner’s “unbeatable” world record of 10.49 s does not seem untouchable.

In Ostrava, he will present himself at the 200th race, where he has already reached the very limit of 22 seconds. “I’d like to humiliate here,” she said. If she succeeds, the name of the record holder will change after forty years. The legendary Jarmila Kratochvílová is still that.
