Lucy Renshall claims third Grand Slam gold in 2021
Lucy Renshall has used the year to do more than just confine herself to home. The British athlete started the year quietly and as time passed her performance improved until it reached its peak. Gold in Antalya, silver in Paris and again gold in Baku; it is clear that this is her year. In Abu Dhabi she had a final that was announced as bittersweet against a strong opponent, but she came from home with tons of sugar. In front of her was Sanne Vermeer, three years younger and also with an excellent year behind her, but where Renshall oscillates between gold and silver, the Dutch competitor has not passed bronze in 2021.
