I Have Spoken With Many Former Athletes,

Often You Need To Take Some Risk, But It Must Be A Realistic Risk, You Can't Take A Crazy Risk.

I Am Alone, Some People Help Me, But, Basically, I Can Do What I Want.

The Olympics Are Always A Special Competition. It Is Very Difficult To Predict What Will Happen.

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.

The Strategy Of My Coach And Me Was That We Looked At Pictures Of All The Best Pole Vaulters From Around The World, And We Took The Best Parts From Them, And We Created A Person That Had Never Existed. We Then Started To Work Toward Being Such A Person.
