“What a performance by Amy Hunt who clocks 22.14 in the 200m final to take world silver .”
In reaction one fan said: “This was something else, completely out of the blue.
Y'know, if all we walk away with this week is two silver medals and a truck load of PB's, they've been bloody well deserved..”
Another fan said: “I had a feeling she could get into the medals the way she got through qualifying; she looked so comfortable in them.”
Amy Hunt also took to Instagram and wrote: “WORLD SILVER MEDALIST.” After winning the silver medal, in an interview with the BBC, Amy said: “You can be an academic badass and a track goddess,” and also said: “There are so many girls that message me every single day.”
Amy Hunt also revealed that “I love to reply to as many as I can, especially those that are trying to go through the Oxbridge system. I’m a big proponent for getting more people through that.
“I’ll always say, ‘Just give me a call and we’ll have a chat over everything’, because the interview is so unlike anything else you’ll ever do.
"I've helped a couple of girls get into Cambridge now and some of them I’m now really close friends with.
“I'm trying to make more doors open for more people coming up behind me.
“Talking about it opens it up a lot more and enables a lot more girls from an athletic background to be able to get there.
“It's really lovely to see more girls be emboldened and empowered to do that. To be able to do two things at the top of the UK is incredible and more girls should have that option.”
Amy Hunt read English at Corpus Christi College, Cambridge University and graduated in 2023. Six weeks ago, Amy Hunt posted on Instagram and wrote: “missed me ? back @ it with indoors:

The World Athletics Indoor Championships 2026 begin on Friday March 20. In a column for the BBC in 2020, Amy spoke about the second national lockdown during covid and said: “I would be going from living in a flat by myself in Cambridge, to staying with a group of athletes, one of whom is my boyfriend, in a shared house in Loughborough. I had to have a long, hard think about whether that increased risk was worth it.”
