'To get a silver medal to bring home to my country, I couldn't be happier.'
Kendra Harrison added a silver medal to Team USA's medal count at the Tokyo Olympics on Monday, by winning in the 100m hurdles. Her time was 12.52 seconds, just behind Puerto Rico's Jasmine Camacho-Quinn, who won gold with a time of 12.37 seconds. Harrison actually is a world record holder in the event — back in 2016, she did it in 12.20 seconds! She's been training for years, missed out in the Rio Games, but finally got redemption in Tokyo.
That's what continues to make me work hard – just remembering that moment of getting sixth at the U.S. trials." Harrison said she had to pick herself back up and build her confidence again."To get a silver medal to bring home to my country, I couldn't be happier," she beamed.,"I just keep telling myself, 'You have faith, I'm confident, and you got this,' and just saying those few words to me kept me calm.
