I always want to win with a world record.

I've tried my best, but the wind was too strong and I felt a bit tired.

After Helsinki, I was so tired. But now I feel good again. I have high hopes of adding to my world record mark as I feel as if I still have more in me.

I can't explain my feelings, I love the run-up and the stadium here.

If nothing comes of it, I would be a little bit disappointed, ... After Helsinki I was so tired, but now I feel good again.

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. Five meters is a whole different world and since Helsinki I have been very tired.

I was so tired. I had a lot of competition, I won the summer and winter world championships, I set new world records, and I tried to do my best today, but I couldn't.

I hope it's the same next season.

It is not difficult because I have a clear goal.
