She revealed that before the Olympics, she was feeling strong and ready to challenge for a slot in the relay team but in the process of building up, she ended up injured and her recovery took longer than she expected.
“I attended five (Olympic), actually, I was hoping to make it to six. Right before the Tokyo Olympics, two weeks out, I got injured. I was feeling good in training and I believed, maybe I could make the relay team,” Veronica Campbell-Brown said in an interview with Yendi Phillipps.
“I was working hard, I ran a race the week prior and I got too excited. I was pushing too hard in training, and I got a hamstring injury.
“That’s when I realised, two weeks out, and that’s when I retired, four years ago. I think that injury was a sign that I had had enough and maybe it was time for me to move on.”
