I am so happy as if it was the first time. I had to wait two hours before my first attempt. I am not really surprised that I only needed to attempts, two jumps to win. My shape looks great. I am confident that I am in a great shape. I feel great. The break was good for me - my body needed a rest and my mind, too. Today I understand better what I achieved in the past, how great this was and is».
