Coming back from two challenging years, Sanya Richards-Ross is starting off 2012 with style. The US had never had two women medal in the World Indoors 400 meters before- a big congrats to Natasha Hastings as well!

Sanya Richard-Ross took the lead, and did not stop. Getting a great start, from outside, Richards-Ross cut to the line perfectly, hitting 200 meters in 23.77, and not looking back. Extending her lead over the last 100 meters, Sanya Richards-Ross won the gold medal in 50.79. The battle for silver was close, as Natasha Hastings had a better cut in and looked good until 300 meters, when Alexsandra Fedoriva of Russia went by and kept her position, taking the silver in 51.76 to Hastings 51.82!


Here is what Sanya had to say after her world championship performance:


“I’m
really happy with this. This is my first World Indoor title. Running
two rounds (Friday) took a little out of my legs. I wanted to get the
American record, but more importantly I wanted to win gold. I wanted to
go out strong and still be able to bring it home. I’m definitely excited
for London. I’m healthy. This is my first time competing indoors in six
years and I feel good.”

And Natasha, who went into this race wanting to win, said the following:

“I
had the goal win. Now my focus is on the summer. It’s great to know I
am able to compete. I think this means for will need to look out for
Team USA this summer in London.”
