Budapest (from our reporter) – And so it is clear that she also flew to Budapest with plans to advance from Saturday’s start. “The semi-finals is the first goal, then we can move on,” he says.
You managed to compete in the Finnish and Czech championships as the last test before the world championships in three days. What was waiting for you then?
I was in Melago for another week, where the weather was more like winter than summer. But everything went well, I’m ready as I should be.
It’s summer in Budapest, and you’ll be running at 1:15 p.m. Doesn’t that scare you?
The worst is the warm-up. I’m more looking forward to the fact that he will bother the other girls. Sure, it’s challenging, but it runs the fastest in it. If you don’t keep telling yourself it’s hot and you can’t, it’s good for performance.
Budapest is close to the Czech border, will your nearest and dearest, including son Kaap, arrive here?
My and Filip’s (partner) parents, Kaapo and a bunch of others who always go to the races will come.
Together with Kaap, there are about nine of them, plus two more children. That will hold up some kind of flag. (smile) So far they’ve only been to the European Championships because they’ve never gone out into the world, so they’re looking forward to it.
Your discipline has a clear favorite, the Kenyan world record holder Faith Kipyegon. Can anyone threaten her?
If there is no emergency, then no. It is a three-round competition, with her times she is a clear favorite.
She wants to attempt a gold double in the 1500m and 1500m, something no woman has done before her. Will it be more difficult against the Ethiopian opponents on a longer track?
I don’t think it will. It’s going to be the last lap anyway, and if he runs it under sixty seconds, they don’t stand a chance.
