British sprint star Daryll Neita moved from Italy to Florida after last summer’s Olympics so she could redouble her efforts to win a first individual major medal

Daryll Neita emerged from last summer’s Paris cauldron proud but aware that she needed to change. Fourth in the 100m and fifth in the 200m, she was more convinced than ever that a major individual medal was a stride away. And while she won a 4x100m relay silver, the overall Olympic experience was “bittersweet.”

So Neita, 28, packed her bags and bought two one-way tickets – the other for chihuahua Melon – to Florida and a spot on legendary coach Lance Braumann’s roster.

Within days she was stepping on to the track with men’s 100m Olympic champ Noah Lyles and the Australian teen prodigy Gout Gout. And from so often being the nearly woman Neita now feels 100% certain that life-changing success is within reach.

“I was so locked in in Paris that I was not leaving without an individual medal,” she says. “That was what I promised myself, I wasn’t going to leave without one, and then I left without the individual medal.
