The second place I am pleased with: “I am satisfied with my race. I am so tired of the World Championships, the European Championships and the season ending. I came here to enjoy the competition, with the support of the spectators. With the other competitors, we know each other very well and love to race together. I had to wait three years to break my own record and this season I beat it by more than a second. There is no specific reason to break my record, I’m doing fine with my life. I have a good and healthy balance. I started studying again and structure my days. I needed to organize myself better. My coach Oliver and I trust each other. We work well together, we have a good training team and good medical staff. »
