Team GB's rising sprint star Amy Hunt has revealed the secret weapon behind her stunning World Athletics Championships silver medal - the unwavering support of her boyfriend, Ben Higgins.
The 21-year-old athletics prodigy, who clinched silver as part of Britain's sensational 4x100m relay team in Budapest, opened up about how her relationship with fellow athlete Higgins has become the foundation of her success on the global stage.
A Partnership Built on Mutual Understanding
"Having Ben by my side through this journey has been incredible," Hunt shared exclusively. "He understands the pressures of elite sport in a way that others simply can't."
The couple's connection runs deeper than typical romance, with both navigating the demanding world of professional athletics. Higgins, a talented 400m runner, provides Hunt with not just emotional support but valuable technical insights that have helped sharpen her performance.
From Training Track to Podium
Their relationship blossomed from shared training sessions and mutual respect for each other's dedication to the sport. "We push each other to be better, both on and off the track," Hunt explained.
The young sprinter's silver medal achievement marks a significant milestone in her burgeoning career, coming just years after she burst onto the scene as a teenage sensation. Now, with Higgins in her corner, Hunt believes the best is yet to come.
Olympic Dreams on the Horizon
With the Paris Olympics looming, Hunt's World Championships success positions her as a genuine medal contender for Team GB. "This silver medal gives me so much confidence moving forward," she beamed. "Ben and I both have our eyes set on Paris."
The couple's shared Olympic dream adds another layer to their inspiring story, proving that sometimes the strongest partnerships are forged in the heat of competition and the pursuit of sporting excellence.
As British athletics celebrates another successful World Championships campaign, Hunt's story serves as a powerful reminder that behind every great athlete often stands an equally determined support system.
