We would like to have the normal procedures as at previous games. We hope and expect everything will be agreed before Turin.

I began with track and field because this is what I know.

I have bought pole vault equipment, the landing areas, posts, which costs a lot of money. We pay for coaches.

The pole vault is a very complicated event, there are many things involved.

And, of course, method is very important as is a high-quality specialist (trainer) working with you to keep you going in the right direction for your improvement and to help create results.

We need to rely on our defense. We've won games that way and will continue. I hope they will respond next week.
