Tori Bowie 'Going After Medals' After Breakthrough Season

Published by NBC Sports on January 27, 2015

Tori Bowie, who converted from the long jump last spring and became the world’s fastest woman over 100m for the year, may try to make the 2015 World Championships team in the 100m, 200m and long jump.

Bowie, 24, hasn’t competed since pulling up with a torn right hamstring at a Diamond League 100m in Birmingham, Great Britain, on Aug. 24.

The soft-spoken Mississippi native is fully recovered from her “first real injury,” she said while launching adidas’ “Ultra Boost” shoes in New York on Thursday.

She might make her 2015 debut at the Florida Relays in April.

“I don’t feel any pressure,” Bowie said of the World Championships year. “I don’t feel like I have a point to prove. I’m coming in with no medals.”
