She continued to improve during the program, and after a month, she had achieved excellent results.
She raced to victory in 51.46 seconds, defeating Andrea Miklos, who was at a distance of 52.07 seconds, by racing in lane four of the Retina Stadium, where she had just recently began learning the principles of sprinting.
