Jamaican hurdler Rushell Clayton eyes victory at Paris Olympics
The two-time 400m hurdles bronze medallist, seeks Olympic gold, driven by relentless determination, training hard, and setting lofty goals.
Two-time 400 metres hurdles World Championships bronze medallist Rushell Clayton is setting her sights on a golden achievement at the upcoming Paris Olympic Games.
While she takes pride in her impressive professional athletic career, Clayton is determined to break free from the bronze cycle that has defined her major competition achievements.
At the age of 31, she is relentlessly pursuing the elusive gold medal.
"The goal is always to win the gold, so, for me, it's always getting into that top three," she said as per Jamaica Star.
Clayton, a member of the Elite Performance Track Club, had a stellar season marked by numerous personal best times.
She understands that to ascend to the highest step of the medal podium, she must continue to push herself to achieve better times.
With a personal best of 52.81 seconds, set at the World Athletics Championships in Budapest, Hungary, earlier this year, Clayton acknowledges that she might need to clock a time below 51 seconds to secure the coveted gold at the Paris Olympic Games in the next year.
To achieve her ambitious goal, Clayton is leaving no stone unturned, including the quest to dip below the national record of 52.42 seconds set by Melanie Walker.
"Personal records mean you're getting better, so it's always to run fast, and the faster you run, the more you get personal bests," she added.
While Clayton has a time goal in mind, she emphasizes that when it comes to the final race, it is not just about the clock; it is about the medal.
"The work never stops for Clayton," she affirms.
Clayton's hard work and outstanding performances during the last season have not gone unnoticed.
