The Leicestershire Sisters on their way to Olympic glory


0

As the dust settles in Tokyo, the two teenage sisters talked about how they hope to support each other until Olympic success on the track.

Indienne and Shaikira, from Loughborough, Leicestershire, were both recently crowned state champions, and 13-year-old Shaikira ran the fastest 1,500 meters in Britain for her age, while Indienne, 17, currently represents the Team GB U20 team.

Despite competing in similar events, the sisters said they enjoyed running together.

“A lot of people would think it’s pretty pressure, but I don’t think it at all,” Indienne said.

“Me and Shai, we both talk to each other about what we’re struggling with and help each other with that.”
