Gabby Thomas on how legendary late sprinter Flo-Jo changed the game for modern female athletes
Gabby Thomas has explained how legendary former American sprinter Flo-Jo redefined beauty amongst female sprinters.
In that race, she secured a second-place finish with a time of 1:58.53, behind Kenya’s Mary Moraa, while her fellow Briton, Rekkie Jemma, took third place with 1:58.73.
Diribe Welteji, who narrowly missed out on the podium at the Paris Olympics, was likely pleased with her post-Olympic campaign, which saw her outpace the competition in Silesia.
Welteji, who has been steadily improving her form, will be looking to maintain this momentum as she prepares for the World Athletics Championships in Tokyo next year.

Is Noah Lyles actually faster than Usain Bolt? 3D Simulation puts theory to the test
A simulation has now pitted Usain Bolt in a race against the self proclaimed "world's fastest man" Noah Lyles in both the 100 meters and 200meters
Frewenyi Hailu, who did not compete in the Olympic Games, also had a strong showing in Silesia and will be aiming to close out the season on a high note.
Georgia Bell's performance in Silesia adds to what has been a remarkable comeback season for the British middle-distance runner.
After taking a hiatus from the sport to complete her graduate studies at the University of California, Berkeley, Bell has returned with a vengeance.
Earlier this month in Paris, she stunned the athletics world by claiming a surprise bronze in the 1500m, setting a British record with a time of 3:52.61. This time not only made her the fourth-fastest woman in the world this year but also elevated her to No. 11 on the all-time world list.
