AUSTRALIA: Sally Pearson is confident before her Sopot participation: “I am confident with my form after a good couple of weeks of competition, first with the hurdles in Perth and then last weekend in Berlin. I’ve done the work to be here and now I am just excited to get the championships underway, and to make every effort to defend the title I won in Istanbul two years ago. I know that Nia is running very fast at the moment, and so is Janay DeLoach so it will be interesting to see how they perform after good runs at the US Trials. I’ve been keeping a pretty close eye on everyone because you never know who might have a bit of a breakthrough, and from what I can see it is going to be a tough competition,” Pearson added.
(Editor’s note: Sally Pearson is back. Her fitness is back and most importantly, her racing form is back. Her battle will be with Nia Ali and Janay DeLoach, who both could hamper Pearson’s goal to defend in Sopot).
