The Swedish, which seemed to have no rival on the track due to the wide margin where he won all the competitions and competitions, pointed out that he had a margin of improvement and this happens through “improving the procedure.”
“There are always little details that can be improved, so there is a room to improve. The purpose of jumping as high as possible is an internal battle. I jump higher than ever before, the competition is always there and I want to continue jumping home again,” he said.
One of the great jumps, 6.25 meters, gave him a gold medal at the Olympic Games in Paris 2024 against an entire France stadium pulled him by hoping.
“Honestly, in Paris I thought I would get a note. I knew in thinking that I could and didn’t look at the details after what happened. I think I always improved a little bit. In Paris my state of mind -focusing mental state, I didn’t think about the medal, and maybe I could improve it,” he concluded.
