« What do you expect from this competition?
I come to eat Polish. More seriously, I come because we do not have 36,000 competitions in the French team at the moment, and there, we are given the opportunity, and especially the chance, to postpone the jersey of the France team. I missed him! I’m coming to get used to this France team again and try to give it my all, because it’s a bit of a rehearsal before the Games. And I would like to take my revenge on the Polish (Malwina Kopron), because it’s been twice that she beat me this year and it’s starting to hit me on the bean …

How do you judge your start to the season?
I broke the French record this winter on my first 75.38m outing, it was quite exceptional. Afterwards, as I had already achieved the minimums for Tokyo, we started again on a very, very large work cycle. I completed 70.55m at the European Throwing Cup on May 9th. We didn’t expect it to be so little, but if I had done 71m, it would have been the end of the line because we were in a big training period. But if we see the overall performance of this competition, we can clearly see that it was not necessarily timely at that time. It was good in Ostrava (2nd with 73.30 m), because it was necessary to re-mobilize after a poor performance. We had to come back to things we knew how to do. I get hit twice by Polish women (Kopron et Anita Wlodarczyk), but overall I’m happy.

Do you feel stronger than last season?
Last year I was stronger than two years ago, and this year I am stronger than last year as well. In 2020, I still have an average of 74.10m jets. Even though it was a bit truncated season, it was very important because it allowed me to have stability in terms of performance. Technically, I am much better than last year. Now all you have to do is place things correctly. In training, all my field records have fallen in the last two weeks so the performance has to fall. I will do everything to. “
