In my short interview, I asked her about her shape, how her plans for 2016 were shaping up and how fast she had run in a recent workout. SRR is a wonderful athlete and a great media savvy athlete as well. This interview was done at the Pre presser on May 27, 2016.

On June 4, Sanya Richards-Ross did not finish the 100 meters at the American Track League in Atlanta. We are waiting to learn if there was an injury or it was a cramp. More Details to come.
