Zharnel Hughes aims for Olympic redemption in Paris 2024 with renewed confidence

Posted : 22 January 2024

In 2024, Zharnel Hughes, the 28-year-old sprinter from Anguilla, is gearing up for the Paris Olympics with renewed confidence after overcoming setbacks in his previous attempts. His Olympic journey faced a hurdle in 2016 due to a knee ligament injury and a false start in Tokyo 2020, where Italy's Marcell Jacobs emerged as the champion.

 

Hughes, however, found redemption at the World Championships in Budapest, clinching his first individual global medal, a bronze in the 100m. Reflecting on past challenges, Hughes acknowledges the impact of injuries and mental pressure, but he now approaches the upcoming season with a relaxed mindset, focused on Paris 2024.

 

The 2023 season was pivotal for Hughes, breaking British sprint records and securing a podium finish after a 20-year gap. He emphasizes the shift in his mental space, emphasizing enjoyment over pressure. Hughes expresses gratitude for his support system and highlights the alignment of belief, confidence, and speed leading to improved performances.

While Hughes has set ambitious targets for the season, including the European Championships in Rome, his primary goal for Paris is securing a medal, prioritizing success over specific time achievements.

 

With his coach Glen Mills, Hughes is preparing strategically for the Diamond League and aims to approach the season with a day-by-day mindset, steering clear of overwhelming expectations.

 

Redeemed on the global stage, Hughes is optimistic about creating a legacy for himself in the upcoming year, leaving behind the disappointments of Tokyo 2020 and looking forward to a new chapter filled with excitement and potential.
