Tori Bowie, 100 meter champion, 2017 London World Champs:the RBR Interview

The race was amazing! Tori Bowie put her entire focus, and all of her energy into the 100 meter final, taking control over the last 40 meters, and put a perfect lean into the race, taking the gold from Marie Josee Ta Lou doing what she needed to do! She also came home with some abrasions and some bruising. That is why she did not run in the 200 meters, but still wants to run the 100 meters.

We did this interview with Tori Bowie at her sponsor, adidas’ hospitatlity center. We had ten minutes with Tori and @runblogrun provided the 100 meter champion with about a half dozen questions. Thanks to Tori Bowie and adidas for the opportunity.
