Merry was one of the first to congratulate her, with the Olympic bronze medallist posting on X, external<\/span><\/a>: “The record stood for a good amount of time. Amber wasn’t even born when I sped my short back and sides around the NIA [National Indoor Arena]!”<\/p>\n

Anning has already had a taste of medal success, winning 4x400m relay bronze at the 2023 World Championships in Budapest, following a silver in the same event at the 2019 European Indoor Championships in Glasgow.<\/p>\n

The Scottish city will host the World Indoors in March and that could be where Anning breaks her next target – the 50.02-second UK indoor 400m record, held by five-time world medallist Nicola Sanders since 2007.<\/p>\n

Anning is one of a number of British athletes hoping to improve their performances by training in America, with three of the women’s relay quartet that won world bronze last year all living there.<\/p>\n

There will be fierce competition for places in Team GB’s Olympic squad this summer, with a top-two finish at the UK Athletics Championships needed to guarantee individual 400m selection.<\/p>\n

A lower finish at those trials will leave selectors to consider other criteria, including world rankings, form and previous international success.<\/p>\n

“There is lots more to give – I don’t want to be complacent,” said Anning, who was disappointed to miss out on the previous Olympics in Tokyo three years ago.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
