I think the wind didnt help because we did the warm up in perfect conditions, i thought at that point that the world record would be broken but then it switched a bit and I think it handicapped a few girls. Im really looking forwrad to Berlin, the DL final and the Continental Cup. I alos think i can break the 5m this year.
My injury pushed back a bit my expectations but let’s see. I still think that medlas are more important as I get to bring them home so of course my eyes are first on the Championships but lets see for the 5m”
