Street Athletics: Kensington
Hiya,
Street Athletics at Kensington today has been soo fun. A great-turn out resulted in great performances and spectacular talents were performed on stage with the Kombat Breakers.
Having competed myself i now understand why the atmosphere is pumped with adrenalinen which i can now say doesn’t calm down the competitors, not expecting to participate meant that i was kitted out in my beautiful NEW salt and pepper shoes, baggy, loose trousers and hair all over the place. LOL how hilarious. Even though my fate was against me today i managed to come 2nd in the heats which means i am in the final.
Finals did not go to plan and i ended up fourth. A word of advice to all competitors…. it’s not over until you cross that finish line. Pipped to the finals… Not happy but learnt a very important lesson, its not good coming fourth! Oh well, never mind, i’ll get over it and good luck to all the lucky ones who’s made it to the South Bank.
We hope to see lots of people at the Lillian Ballis event which we shall be covering next but until then, check out the interviews below if you want to see Darren Campbell dancing and Linford Christie telling his best jokes, as well as all those who made it down for the races and dance lessons at Freston Road.
Once again, thanks to all who gave their time for interviews and photos, feel free to leave us a message on the comment board. See you soon.
Peace out!
Amber (didn’t qualify) and Maya Wright.
