Kelly-Ann Baptiste is an Olympic veteran with four outings on the world’s biggest sporting stage. “I don’t think veteran is a bad word,” Baptiste tells the Express. “Veteran just means experienced. So, I hope that the younger athletes coming up realise that running and sprinting well is a craft, and it takes time. Although some people may jump ahead early, it sometimes takes a while.”
