Despite finishing in sixth place, Chloe said that she was satisfied with her performance.
"Setting a new personal best is what I came here to do, and I did it," she said.
Chloe currently lives and studies in Fiji, where most of her training is done with her dad as her coach.
She looks up to her dad, who she says is her role model and has been her support throughout her preparations for this year’s Olympic Games in Paris.
Coming straight off the tracks at the Stade de France, Chloe said the competition was hard but running alongside the best sprinters from around the world is such an amazing opportunity.
For Chloe, her dreams of getting a medal continue as she remains determined to represent Vanuatu more and make her country proud.
She aims to make her mark on the international Athletics front one day.
Chloe thanked everyone in Vanuatu for the support rendered to her.
"Although I don't live in Vanuatu, all the love and support have been coming from home," she said.
She also thanked her friends and teachers in Fiji who have been very supportive of her journey to be in Paris.
