Tori Bowie had an excellent 2017, Instagram from The Shoe Addicts

Tori Bowie, for 2017, the fastest women in the world. Her victories at the US champs, in the 100 meter World Champs and her blazing leg in the 4×100 meters showed a women who, as she told us in Beijing in 2015, “likes to win.”

If you take a look at her 100 meter final, you see that amazing finish, that blazing last 40 meters and the determination that gave her an amazingly bruised leg. It was day by day, as her coach and team watched her to see if she could run the relay.

Tori Bowie lets her feet do the talking, and they spoke loud and clear in London. Under the watchful eye of Coach Lance Brauman, Tori Bowie continues to develop, one year at a time. She is a different athlete than in 2015, when she won medals focusing on half of the race distances.

We wish Tori a great 2018, and look forward to seeing her change it up a little bit.
