Shida has been trained, since August 3 2013, by the husband and wife coaching team of Kevin & Sue O’Connor. Kevin commented:

“In London, in the late 1960’s, early 1970’s, I was coached by my father (Pat O’Connor). He taught me many things, but I would say the most important was pace judgment. Half a century later, this has carried over into our coaching of Shida. So, above all, in a 400m, do not start too quickly. Try to get a fairly even pace during each 100m of the 400m.”

“Yesterday’s, season’s best time, bodes extremely well for her forthcoming races, later in May, in Italy.”
