In her latest heat, she trails the leading athlete, Floka, by 2.04 seconds over the sum of two runs. Despite her current position, her coach Ivo Šteinbergs expressed optimism regarding Andžāne's ability to maintain momentum from her previous attempts as she heads into the next critical competition.
