Daryll Neita has tasted success but remains desperate for her maiden major individual crown – and feels Birmingham next summer would be the perfect destination at which to achieve it.
Daryll Neita believes the stars are aligning in her pursuit of a maiden European gold on home soil. The 28-year-old sprinter won 100m continental bronze at Munich 2022 before adding 200m silver to her name two years later in Rome.
Neita was part of the women’s 4x100m quartet who recorded their best Olympic result since 1965 with silver at Paris 2024 but remains desperate for her maiden major individual crown – and feels Birmingham next summer would be the perfect destination at which to achieve it.
“It feels to me like it’s meant to be,” she said. “I’ve done the bronze in the 100m and silver in the 200m, so the only other option is for me to win double gold.
“That’s how I see it and there’s no better place to do it than at home. That British cheer is definitely what can get me onto the podium again.
“I’ve made an adjustment in terms of my training set up and the plan is that by next summer I will be raring and ready to go. I’m feeling really confident.”
