She ran it from the outside. Literally—from lane nine, the farthest lane to the right. A purgatory lane, reserved typically for the slowpoke of the bunch. For irrelevant runners with little, mostly no chance to finish first. She was on the outside—figuratively, too. Because she wasn’t supposed to be there. Not after all the stuff. After being banned from the Tokyo Olympics for testing positive for cannabis. After failing to qualify for the worlds last year in either the 100 or 200 . After the sport’s iconic sprinter, Usain Bolt suggested on social media that she should “talk less and train more.”Oh, she had fans, including 2.4 million IG followers.
