When Masai Russell made her feelings known about her mindset of competing in the 2025 events
Masai Russell sat for a conversation with Citius Mag in January 2025, where she revealed her strategy to compete in the events of the 2025 season. The 24-year-old revealed that she will be paying attention to the technical mistakes in the first few events to improve them ahead of the start of the Championships cycle. Calling herself a secure person when it comes to her abilities, she said:
"I think I am a very secure person in my abilities. So although it may not look flawless in April, like best believe when we get to USA, it's going to be perfected. So, I'm okay with taking the hits and maybe not winning earlier in the season to work on those smaller things to make sure that they are fixed going into the Championship cycle," said Masai Russell.

She further revealed the reason behind why she wasn't able to compete in the Millrose Games in 2024.
"Last year I wasn't able to be a part of Millrose Games because it was my first year on the professional circuit. It was the week before USAs, so I didn't want to do too much traveling." (8:08)
Masai Russell is expected to compete next at the Michael Johnson's Grand Slam Track and the US Championships, which is scheduled for July 31, 2025. She will also be competing at the World Championships in Tokyo, which will begin on September 13.
