Masai Russell had a successful season in 2024, especially during the Paris Olympics. The 24-year-old athlete recently recounted some of her best moments from this year as an athlete.

Russell posted an Instagram story of two of her best moments from the 2024 season. One was her victory at the US Olympic Trials and the other was her victory in the finals of the women's hurdles at the Paris Olympics.

In an interview with Citius Mag in November 2024, Russell talked about her future aspirations as an athlete. She said:

"I think I'm ahead of where I was at last year, just mentally and physically. I have some big goals coming. The women's 100m hurdles doesn’t make it easy on anybody. I know that I have to come in even stronger, even faster, even better. I'm looking to break the world record indoors this season and win the world indoor title. That’s not going to come with me still living in being an Olympic champion from August."

Masai Russell is preparing for the upcoming athletic season of 2025. She has also signed up for the inaugural season of the Grand Slam Track League, conceptualized by sprinting legend Michael Johnson.
