Chris Robinson shared his thoughts on his Grand Slam Track performance in Miami. Competing in the event, Robinson finished second in both the 400m hurdles and 400m dash.

Robinson shed light on his goal and mentioned that he is trying to give his best every time he competes. He said (via Citius Meg, 00:46 onwards):

"I just want to be the better than me, just be the best me, every time I step on the track."

Further referring to the improvements he has had from the Jamaican GST event, Robinson said that he practiced much more after the event and was more focused on his goal. He said (1:48 onwards):

"Just more training really, getting a little bit of more practice and just focus on the goal, the main goal is winning. I just feel like this is another stepping stone really. I'm not really rushing the process."

Competing in the debut GST event in Jamaica, Chris Robinson had a disappointing end in the 400m hurdles event, where he finished sixth. However, his 400m flat performance was impressive, and he was the runner-up.
