Time to chill for Fil-Am sprinter
MANILA, Philippines — After her Tokyo Olympics experience, sprinter Kristina Knott is raring to get back into action.
Knott, 25, yesterday said she would first take a month-long break back home in Florida before plunging back to training to prepare for several international events like the World Indoor and Outdoor Championships, the Asian Games and the Southeast Asian Games all set next year.
She left Tokyo yesterday for the US.
“My short-term goal is go back to Florida, cool off, be with family, friends, just relax my mind and body,” said Knott during an online briefer hosted by Philippine Athletics Track and Field Association (PATAFA) president Philip Ella Juico.
“Next year, there would be big championships, world indoor, world outdoor, Asian Games, SEA Games. Back to the drawing board and do it again,” she added.
The Southeast Asian Games 200m gold medalist and record-holder succumbed to the scorching heat and finished last among five participants in her heat in 23.80 seconds.
