Amy Hunt, after getting the silver medal at the World Athletics Championships: “The atmosphere was sexy and aggressive”
“I didn't stop smiling or crying. As my mother saw, I burst into tears. I am so proud of myself, a few moments before the start I thought of my grandfather. I knew it was looking at me from above, I knew it would guide me, “said Amy Hunt, according to The Sun.
The athlete, born in Nottinghamshire, chose to follow a diploma in English literature at Cambridge, competing in parallel with studies until graduating from 2023.
Hunt was part of the Britain's women's team of 4X100 m at the 2024 Olympics, where he obtained the silver medal.
“I chose to go to Cambridge to get a diploma, partly for me, so I could look back with proud, but also to show other young athletes, other young girls, that you do not have to give up education,” the athlete added.
Hunt revealed his plans to follow Wightman's example, copying his unique style of celebrating through Karaoke after racing. The Scottish had previously told that he marked Victoria singing the Gold song of the band Spandau Ballet at Karaoke.
“I can't believe it, maybe a little karaoke tonight.” Asked what piece he would choose, she replied: “Probably Maneater. It's a bit banal but I feel that this was the atmosphere tonight, simply sexy and aggressive. ”
