“It was another golden evening. I really enjoyed it a lot. If the approach of the 5000 was much more aggressive, because I wanted something, here instead I promised myself to have fun and give 100%. Then in front of all the fans in this stadium everything is wonderful. It was another golden evening. I really enjoyed it a lot. If the approach of the 5000 was much more aggressive, because I wanted something, here instead I promised myself to have fun and give 100%. Then in front of all the fans in this stadium everything is wonderful. We must try to put ourselves in the mentality of the champions we see on the track, of the athletes who do the 1500 three times, those who do the marathon, the 800 in a week. After the 5000 I was full of ailments, so I have to thank the Federation’s medical staff. Paris 2024? These results served to give me that extra sprint and that additional energy to sacrifice myself and train even more.”
