British sprinter Daryll Neita tells BBC Sport she believes she can win her first individual global medals when she contests the 100m and 200m at Paris 2024.
Watch coverage of the third Diamond League meet of the season in Doha on BBC Two and the BBC Sport website and app from 17:00 BST on Friday
That was evident at the Suzhou Diamond League, the 27-year-old beaming as she cruised to an impressive 200m victory in 22.62 seconds, with American Sha'Carri Richardson - also a world medallist over that distance - among those trailing behind. Having won five global medals as an ever-present in the British women's 4x100m team - including bronze at both the Rio 2016 and Tokyo 2020 Games - she will seek to replicate that success in both the 100m and 200m in Paris."100% I am aiming for individual medals this summer. I don’t see why anyone shouldn't believe they can; everyone should aim to be the best.
"I'm just really proud of my journey and I'm enjoying it, that's probably the main thing," Neita says. It is a journey which started when Neita, the second-fastest British woman in history, was scouted at a school sports day - an opportunity without which she believes she "wouldn’t be where I am now".
