She may be Australia’s fastest woman ever over 100m, but the blue-ribband event is not a priority for Torrie Lewis as she seeks to qualify for the Paris Olympics later this year. It may seem counterintuitive, but to the 19-year-old it makes perfect sense.
Given the choice, Lewis, whose profile has sky-rocketed since breaking the national 100m women’s record in January, would run the 200m instead, an event she has always considered herself to be more suited to.
