Katerina Stefanidis may not have performed to her potential this year, but she remains optimistic about her presence at the World Athletics Championships in Budapest.
“My main goal is to make this year’s record, to do my best. My standard is low, as this year I have done 4.62. In the pole vault final, I want to keep jumping until I hope there aren’t many gymnasts left. The important thing for me is to come in and do what I’ve been doing for a long time in training.
The level of the competition is quite high in relation to its depth. There are at least eight girls who could do 4.80 and win a medal. If what I see in practice goes my way, yes I could be on the podium, but I don’t go with that in mind, I go with the goal of doing my best “, emphasized the world champion of 2017 and “bronze” in 2019.
Measured in her statements, since she prefers to speak with her performance on the playing field, she was last year’s European champion in the 20 km. and 35 km. bye, Antigone Drisbiotis. “Fifth participation in a world championship, I feel ready and I will claim my best. It’s always a new experience for me, the competition will be big, but I feel ready,” said the fourth at 35km. even in last year’s event.
“I am very happy for my second participation in the world championship. I want to enjoy it and enjoy my fight. I believe that things will come as I expect them”, she said, for her part. the European javelin champion, Elina Jengo.
The hammer throwers Michalis Anastasakis, Christos Franzeskakis, Kostas Zaltos and Stamatia Skarveli, who have completed their preparation, will travel to Budapest from Sobatelli on the same day. Miltos Tentoglou, Emmanuel Karalis, Poliniki Emmanuilidou, Panagiota Dosis and Tatiana Gusin will travel to Budapest next Saturday.
