Zoe Hobbs, a proud Ngāruahine Māori sprinter, has made history yet again by earning a spot in the Paris Olympics 2024.

With a remarkable time of 10.96 seconds, she joins an elite group of New Zealand female sprinters, becoming the fifth to achieve this feat in close to a century.

The last female athlete from New Zealand to participate in the event was legendary sprinter Sue Jowett, in 1976.

Last week, Hobbs kickstarted her European season at the Lausanne Diamond League, clocking in at 11.20 seconds, placing fifth.

Building on this momentum, she competed in the Resisprint international, Chaux-de-Fonds, where she blazed through the heats with a time of 10.96 seconds, solidifying her place in Paris which had a qualifying time of 11:07s.

Not only did Hobbs emerge victorious in her race, but she also etched her name in the record books, setting a new national and area record.

Sadly, vision of her incredible 10.96s is not currently available.

Hobbs revealed she didn't expect to meet the Olympic standard so soon, just one day after the qualification period began.

"Absolutely over the moon to have done that," she explained.

"Didn't think that I would run sub-11 in the heat, which is where I ran that time.

"But the main goal was just to do the Olympic qualifying standard, which opened on July 1, so to do it really early is a massive weight off my shoulders."

Hobbs can rest easy knowing her European campaign has been fruitful whilst the rest of the world watches on in awe.
