World Athletics Final Press Conference quotes
09.09.2005
Monte Carlo - The IAAF World Athletics Final press conference took place today at 3pm at the Fairmont Hotel, the competition headquarters, in Monaco. The four newly crowned World champions from Helsinki who attended the press conference were Kajsa Bergqvist (SWE), Justin Gatlin (USA), Yelena Isinbayeva (RUS) and Adam Nelson (USA).
World Pole Vault champion and record holder Yelena Isinbayeva
“Now that I have the gold medal from every major championship I am very happy. I have now achieved all that I have dreamt of. Also I have cleared 5 metres this year and to become the first to do that in competition was like my Super dream so now I feel great.”
“Since I broke so many World records I have had the little extra pressure that every time I enter a competition every one expects me to break the World record. But it is not easy. 5 metres is a whole different world and since Helsinki I have been very tired.”
“I always try to break the World record after I’ve won a competition but I can’t always succeed!”
“I don’t want to set any limit for myself. I want to jump as high as I can but only one centimetre at a time. As I said 5 metres is a different level.”
