I think I will be able to beat my own personal best but Jackie Joyner-Kersee's world record is too good.

I am capable of of beating my personal best (7001 pts set at the 2003 world championships in Paris) but the world record seems too high.

I was not confident about my foot and I was not able to push hard on it. If you are not confident it is impossible to be at your best.

I'm not disappointed (at not leading), I'm just trying my best.

I am disappointed because I love competing, but the Europeans are the highlight of the year.

I sacrifice so much for my sport. Everything I do is geared towards improving my next performance.
