Africa-Press – Kenya. <\/strong><\/span>South African sprinter Luxolo Adams has said he will be leaning on the ‘overwhelming’ experience at last year’s World Championships in Oregon ahead of this year’s showpiece in Budapest.<\/p>\n

Adams has been working on his ‘mental fitness’ after making a maiden appearance at the global show in 2022 where he reached the semifinals of the 200m.<\/p>\n

Speaking to the BBC Sports The Warm-Up Track podcast, the 26-year-old said: “Now I know how the world class meet operates.”<\/p>\n

“I know how to execute my races. Now, when I’m standing in the lane with with a Noah Lyles, I know how to manage my stress levels, I know how to manage all the influences around me. I’ve got enough experience in store,” Adams said.<\/p>\n

Adams was the fifth fastest man in the world last year after winning the Paris Diamond League meet. The sprinter has already qualified for Paris Olympic Games.<\/p>\n

“Mentally, it was challenging, because it was my first World Champs,” he said. “Two or three weeks before, there was a visa issue. Days went by and then we got closer to the meet and we [still] don’t have visas.<\/p>\n

“We managed to get waivers but when I got there, it was a different type of environment for me. I couldn’t know how to interact, I didn’t know how to, to move around, and also how to behave because now it’s a different type of meet. It’s a world class.<\/p>\n

“It was overwhelming. I don’t know what I was going through but one thing was in my mind: God is not going to place me in a sport whereby I don’t have the power or the strength to go through.<\/p>\n
