With her best shot this year, Elina Jengo qualified for the final of spearing at Olympic Games in Paris.

The Greek champion, a member of Bwin’s Team Future, spoke about her success and said she was overjoyed, leaving open the possibility of winning a medal.

“I knew I could pull off a performance like that and I did. I kept my cool, composed myself and entered properly. I am very happy and overjoyed, that in my first Olympic Games I am in the final“, initially stated the Greek javelin thrower.

“What prevails over here, if you are not an athlete or experience it as a spectator, in this stadium you get chills. They are qualifiers and the field is full. You don’t see a single vacancy. The atmosphere is magical and helps you for a good result. It is important that my family is here, they gave me a lot of strength and I am happy about that. The coach has a lot of faith in me. She gets upset because my anxiety makes me self-destruct and when the result comes out, the crying is a result of relief».

And he continued, saying:I will try in the final to be calm and enjoy this experience. I am very well prepared and it has come out in training. I have to work on it to make it all right».
