There were no reasons to panic as I’m in the great shape. I just didn’t take second fault as something bad. I didn’t ask myself any questions. The second attempt was like a draft but it gave me good information. Now I know that I’ll not use soft poles tomorrow. For sure, I’ll need the harder one from the beginning. The priority in the final is the gold medal.” OTHERS CANDIDATES: The official candidates for the Presidency of European Athletics will present their manifestos during a special “Meet Your Future President” session in Prague on Sunday, inform European Athletics.
