Eight hundred metres specialist Aaliyah Moore had one of her better seasons for Guyana, finishing her 2025 season as the number one-ranked female 800m athlete in South America despite having her physical struggles throughout the year.
In a phone interview with Guyana Times Sport, Moore described that despite her ranking in South America, she did encounter a few difficulties during the season.
“Fortunately for me I did perform at Regionals, where I ran 2:03s first round and 2:02s in the second round and I was able to go to Nationals and then finish at Nationals in the top 16 which gave me the status of being an All-American. So, it was a pretty rough season and it’s been pretty rough for the most part over the few years due to me being injured,” Moore highlighted.
Nevertheless, Moore, who is back to 100 per cent health, expects to have a strong 2026. “Next season I know for sure is going to be great because this is my first season getting a full offseason training from August up until now,” she said.
Further, Moore also highlighted how well her training is going ahead of her 2026 season, “Training has been going great. I have improved in so many areas, I have gotten so stronger and I am just overall happy and my confidence is back, mentally I am there, physically I am there and I am just excited for what’s to come because I know what’s to come,” Moore confidently noted. Her season will commence in January of 2026.
