Are the organizer and the athlete equally happy?
“I get stuck, I spend energy but above all I have a team of confidence which makes that when I’m on the track, it’s real happiness. Despite the context, the closed session, we are super proud to have been able to organize the event, many would have given up. For my part, I was keen to do something. This morning when I woke up, I was like a pile, I was only waiting for one thing, to come to the stadium. You have to move. I had, in quotes, a remote contest to do with Mondo (Duplantis, Editor’s note), who passed 6.10m three days ago, and I was keen to bounce back. “

At 6 meters?
“To redo 6 m, in addition to the third attempt, it’s a lot of emotions. In the third, I put everything in place. It is a huge happiness and the best reward that I can give to all those who support me and in particular those who supported me this week. ”
Why then did you ask for 6.20 m and not 1 cm above the world record (6.18 m)?
“Because I am not like the others (to laugh). And that 6.19m, I have never tried it and I think I never will. Because frankly, 6.20 m it slams more, right? “
It’s a perfect preparation for the European Championships next week!
“Yes, there I prepared Europe in the best possible way. 6.06? M, just before leaving, hard to beat. In Torun, Mondo or me, one of us risks finishing second with 6m. “
Which ?
” We do not know. He’s been over 6m three times this winter and me twice. For the first time for Europe indoors, even if it is played within 4 cm, I’m not the favorite. I’m going there as an outsider, but with 6.06m, it’s not bad. It is a real pleasure to be able to go there in these conditions. “
