You know that feeling when you walk into class, surrounded by your friends, everyone knows your name and you just feel… confident? You feel like you are about to crush that presentation or win that game because you’re on your own turf? 

Well, that’s exactly what happened at the 2025 London Diamond League this past weekend. 

The Great Britain women’s 4x100m relay team, consisting of Dina Asher-Smith, Amy Hunt, Desiree Henry, and Daryll Neita, put on a show. Finishing in just 41.69 seconds, these women set the fastest time in this race in the world this year. Not only that, it was also the third time ever done by a British team. 

The best part is that they did it right at home in front of thousands of fans cheering them on. It wasn’t just about running fast, it was about running proud. And you could feel the energy through the screen. 

So what makes competing at home so powerful, especially for women? 

In women’s sports, having a home crowd isn’t always about familiar locker rooms or having access to your favorite concession snacks. It’s about feeling seen and supported. 

When you look up to the stands wearing your colors and hear people chanting your name, it just feels different. 

Women’s sports don’t always get the same attention as men’s sports. So when thousands of fans show up to watch you—yes YOU—it shows you how much you matter to them. 

It shows that your hard work is being recognized and proves that you deserve to be on the field. 

And science agrees. Studies have shown that women athletes often perform better at home  because it helps build confidence, lower stress levels, and give you that little extra boost. We might even call it a superpower. 

The 4x100m at the London Diamond League meet was about more than just medals or times. It was about showing the world what can happen when you give women the spotlight. 

It was proof that when you show up for women, they don’t just perform, they shine. And they shine bright. 

For every girl watching at home—whether you’re a runner, a basketball player or a gymnast—this performance is a reminder that confidence and community work together to help you become unstoppable. 

So the next time you see women athletes doing their thing, cheer loud and share their wins. Every time we lift each other up, we help to change the game. 

And who knows, maybe one day it will be you running that anchor leg with a crowd full of fans screaming your name.
