Sprinter Caitlyn Bobb has reflected her silver medal win in the 400 metres final at the Junior Pan American Games in Asunción, Paraguay, yesterday [August 20].
Bobb, who revealed she felt her hamstring during the race, was narrowly beaten by Canadian Dianna Proctor.
The 22-year-old finished in 52.14sec.
“During the race, I felt something in my hamstring, so I didn’t want to risk it by keep pushing,” Bobb told Panam Sport.
“I just kind of held off. I’m not really that excited by the performance today, but I finished it in one piece, so I’m not that mad.
“If feels great [to win a medal] – I haven’t represented Bermuda in for ever, so it’s really nice to be back.
“A lot more is definitely coming.”
