Obinna reflects on the 2009 World Championships
11 September 2009
I have just got back from the World Championships in Berlin where I ran against other athletes such as Asafa Powell and Tyson Gay. It was an incredible experience, and I personally ran a time of 10.38 in the 100 metres, which got me to the second round of the competition. I couldn’t run in the 200m because I was ill, but watching Usain Bolt run his world record time was like watching a film to me! I never thought it would be possible, and was amazed to see him get more world records.
At the competition I managed to meet up with my fellow G4S team-mate Fanuel. We were able to have a chat about our training and how the G4S team has helped us. In particular, we spoke about our new team mate Eduardo and what impact he can have on the team. We discussed whether we will be able to learn things from him that will improve our own performances in our sports.
My main focus now is continuing my training so I can achieve my goal of winning a medal at the Olympics in 2012.
