NATIONAL SPRINTER Michelle-Lee Ahye is satisfied with her performances at the recently-concluded Olympic Games in London, England.
Ahye featured in the women’s 100-metre sprints, where she was eighth in her semi-final heat, in 11.32 seconds, while she was part of the women’s 4x100m relay team, who had a failed baton exchange in the final at the London Olympic Stadium.
In an interview upon her arrival home on Monday, at the Piarco International Airport, the 20-year-old commented, “it was a good experience, even though it had little mishaps. But it was a very good experience for me. I learnt a lot, it was pretty good.”
Reflecting on the pre-Olympic camp in Wales, Ahye noted, “when we reached to Wales, everything was alright.
“Everything was good, on point. We got our own Caribbean chef so we had our own local dishes. It was pretty awesome.”
Asked about her experiences on the world stage in London, she replied, “at my age, for me it was pretty good. Honestly, words can’t explain how I was feeling, representing Trinidad and Tobago. It was good to me.”
But, as far as the relay was concerned, “it was good being there for the heats but, in the final, even though we had a little mishap, just being there in the final was good.”
Admitting that “my season is officially over, until next year”, she stated, “I’m just relaxing my shin right now.
“I have a little shin problem but, by November, I’ll be back out training,” she ended.
