It is hard not to be ecstatic after winning a medal! But, to me, what is fascinating, is that, in the so called, Mixed Zone, after races, some very thoughtful comments come from athletes who have been involved in a championship situation, where their mental, spiritual and physical selves have been pushed to the limit.

I enjoyed Chris Thompson’s comments, but my favorites are Mo Farahs. I hope you enjoy!

Flash Interviews – Tue 27 July







Daniele MEUCCI (ITA) – Bronze Medal
10000m Men Final
“It’s
my first international medal. I’m very happy. I was here three years
ago and it’s always a pleasure to come back to Barcelona. I always have
a good feeling here. I dedicate this medal to my coach and fiance.”
Chris THOMPSON (GBR) – Silver Medal
10000m Men Final
“This
is unbelievable. It’s a great success for British athletics. It’s the
first season in a long time that I have competed without injuries and,
for me, being second behind Mo Farah is like a gold medal. He’s an
incredible athlete and no one could beat him tonight so I’m very
happy.”,
Mo FARAH (GBR) – Winner
10000m Men Final
“The
first European gold feels great. It was many years of hard work to
achieve this goal. Chris took the lead, it was a fierce competition. I
knew I needed to get rid of some of the runners. It’s awesome that
Chris and me obtained the double. Now I look forward to the 5000m. I
need to recover fast, but I’ve got it going on”
Nadzeya OSTAPCHUK (BLR) – Winner
Shot Put Women Final
“This
year I’m in top shape. Today was a very tough qualification due to the
incredible heat. But I was sure that I was going to fight for the
medal. I’m very happy about my first European outdoor gold. I will
celebrate tonight talking to my friends on the phone”
Anna AVDEYEVA (RUS) – Bronze Medal
Shot Put Women Final
“Before
the last attempt I was praying. I decided to put all my heart and soul
into this sixth attempt. I achieved the performance and yelled like
crazy. Now I lost my voice but I won the bronze medal“
Natallia MIKHNEVICH (BLR) – Silver Medal
Shot Put Women Final
“The
competition was great. It has been very special to compete in the
Olympic Stadium. I’m very satisfied with my result. Before competing I
was not sure if I could make it on the podium”
João VIEIRA (POR) – Bronze
20 km Walk Men Final
“I’m
satisfied that I was able to repeat my bronze medal from Göteborg 2006.
It’s a great feeling. The circuit is very fast. I’m very happy”
Alex SCHWAZER (ITA) – Silver
20 km Walk Men Final
“It
was a good race. I’m happy with the silver medal. I tried to catch up
with Emelyanov but he was in top shape today. Now I hope to recover in
time for the 50km Walk”
Stanislav EMELYANOV (RUS) – Winner
20 km Walk Men Final
“I am very happy. It’s been a great race for me. The circuit is fast, I liked it”
