"It feels good, I know a lot of people don't call me a 100m specialist but I feel like today I'm proving that I am and to just come out and win in Jamaican territory, it's nice... I was saying to other people, my start is way better than that but this is just my opening race, just got to clean up little things."
During the conversation, Kenny Bednarek also said that the condition of the track was wonderful and that later in the season, very fast run times could be achieved on the track.
