“I’m definitely going for LA if I can, just keep trying to break the record, get as fast as possible. I’m really hoping [Gqeberha] just gets a wall,” she said, adding she wasn’t keen to relocate to Johannesburg.
“I can definitely get eight [seconds] … if I can get out those little niggles. Once that happens, hopefully I just need to get faster and smoother. But so far I’m still quite … jolty. I’m still learning …
“You want to keep constant, you want to not stop. The very first move is my biggest weakness where I sort of catch that, stop and carry on. So if I can sort of smooth that out, I think I can get eight. And then hopefully I can get it down past eight to seven-ish. One day, you know.”
Holder pointed out her training schedule had changed when she arrived in Paris because she suddenly had access to a proper wall.
“All the other training [went] out the window. We just focused on the wall which was really nice,” she said, but added she was keen to get back to regular practice.
“I can’t wait to get back to training to be honest. I would love to just keep going, set my new training schedule. I quite like a plan … like four years up to the next Olympics.”
