"After Femke moved to the 800m, I was like 'oh I like to stand on the same start line as her'."
In an exclusive interview, Emma Zapletalová talks through her admiration for Femke Broeders-Bol 🏃♀️

📍Athens, 2004
Great Britain’s quartet of Jason Gardener, Darren Campbell, Marlon Devonish and Mark Lewis-Francis stunned the US to win the men’s 4x100m title in 38.07s, by a margin of 0.01s.
It was the first British Olympic relay gold since 1912.
That crown suits you, Dina 👑

FAST WAS NEVER ENOUGH.
I gave my life to speed. Olympic medals. 9.76. Years at the highest level. But the mission became bigger than medals.
I’m building something that lasts beyond the finish line ownership, legacy, and a future my family can stand on long after the spikes come off.
This is bigger than track.
As athletes, we ask a lot from our bodies. There is always a thin line between being fit and the risk of injury.
Since the end of May, I have been dealing with a hamstring injury and unfortunately it needs a bit longer to recover than I had hoped.
