Russell became a global beater at the 2024 Paris Olympic Games and her time is one of the best in 100m hurdles.
Paris Olympics 100m hurdles champion Masai Russell is known for clocking faster times in her specialty since shooting to prominence in 2021.
The 24-year-old, who is the US NCAA record holder in 100m hurdles and whose personal best of 12.25 seconds that ranks fifth of all time, said her normal preparation (not on track) sometimes poses a challenge to her.
Russell added that doing her hair is one thing that makes her very slow but generally she's fast in everything, including driving. In an Athlos post shared to her X platform, a question was asked: Everyone knows Masai Russell is lightning fast- but what's she slow at?
In the video, Russell replied: "I'm lowkey slow at getting ready sometimes. Doing my hair, you know, typical. Other than that I'm pretty fast at a lot of things I do. I don't like taking my time. I'm a sprinter so, everything is gotta be at a fast pace, you know? I'm fast at driving."
