I am very glad that I came out in very good shape, although in the morning I felt a little depressed, and the humidity was quite high. However, I used very good tactics, which I am very happy with, as well as the fact that I was mentally strong, which is not easy in every 1,000 meter race. This is my greatest strength. In the last two hundred meters I managed to start something that broke Pimenta. We’ve been competing together for many years and I’ll admit it. It’s great to end this year like this. I am still proud that my coach and mom can work together so well and trust each other. I would like to have more of these beautiful races, to live with the results

We didn’t have qualifying, and at the same time, it didn’t feel like our race was first. Since we’re out, we’ve been trying to plot the path. We’re still starting the U-23 World Cup in Szeged, and now I feel like it’s going to hurt a lot, because the pace is tight. I hope we can rest a bit now, I don’t have to travel to Szeged much anyway, so we can still get a good fit there.
