Anna Cockrell on her silver medal in Paris: "I was just ready"

Anna Cockrell previously discussed how she felt after winning the silver medal in the 400m hurdles at the Paris Olympics. In an interview with Track and Field News, she said:
"I was just ready. There’s no other way to say it. We’d been working so, so, so hard, so hard all year. I mean, everybody does. But we’ve done so many different race plans. We’ve tried so many things. We’ve watched so much film. Ralph Mann had come out twice and had helped us out, had gotten film on us."
"The gun went off. It’s the quietest my life’s ever been. I always count my steps. I was counting. I knew I was in there, I knew I had to make a move at 5. I knew I had to make a really big move from 7 to 8. And I remember that space between 7 and 8, I was just thinking to myself, “It’s now or never.” It was funny that I don’t remember a lot after the race. I was just, I just cannot stop crying. And I couldn’t find my family. I didn’t even do my victory lap. I didn’t do anything I was supposed to do. Because I was just like, “Where are my parents?” So that’s a bit of a blur."
Anna Cockrell will be aiming to win her first world title at the next edition of the World Championships.
