Speaking after the race, Amusan expressed gratitude to her team and supporters, noting that the victory fuels her drive for the upcoming Olympic season. “This is just the beginning,” she said with a confident smile.

Reflecting on her performance in Rabat, Amusan attributed her success to refinements in her training, emphasizing that sharper execution was key to her record-breaking run.
