Emmanuel Karalis sailed to a sea of happiness and with great willingness to stand up to the press representatives, supporting his great desire for even greater jumps in the future.
“It was a nice day today. I managed to overcome myself, jump over 6m. And to see for the first time some big heights. Yes, they were very beautiful today and I am happy to leave this race healthy and ready for a new record, “the Greek Olympian said.
And continued by saying: “Today we did some tests to chase the overrun. Of course, these three attempts I made at 5.95m. They disrupted me a little, but I tried some new poles, I showed that I could jump high and yes, I did.
Today I did 6 meters and tried for 6.10m, I tried both 6.15m and 6.20m. It was another race, I was very pleased with him and I was ready for these heights, “he said.
As for what his coaches asked for before the third jump at 5.95m, he said: “I was told that I could pass it. I was told technically things that I already know, so they didn’t have to tell me more.
Then I was released, so the jump came easy to 6m. And everything went perfectly. I would definitely like another race, try again at such heights and surely they will come the new year (the races).
Now my body has to rest because I am very tired. So yes, I will rest and I am sure I will be able to jump up the time. I’ll try new things, newer. I also want to be a winner, I want to make a world record, I want to be first.
So are all athletes. I will try for the best I can. I want to exhaust all my limits and when my career in sports is over I know that I have tried everything. I have tried and did all these things that I think needed to be done to know that I have given it all. “
