I hadn’t put on spikes for three years and doing so today was a great emotion – Iliass Aouani rejoices – Winning with the national team at home is something I will remember forever. Doing it in front of my family, who sees me racing for the first time live in the blue colors, makes everything even more special. I want Birmingham and I want the medal, and then get back to the marathon in the autumn
