The day after I got back from Bergen, I went to Somoskö. A small town in the maintains between Slovakia and Hungary. The hole day it was raining but 30 minutes before the competitions started the sun started shining.
I wasn’t as good as this weekend in Bergen, especially the technique. I was strungling alot with that and didnt feel so confident after the warmup.
So I started the competition low to get some feeling for the jumps, but sadly that didn’t happen.

In Bergen(nor), during the eurocup vor nation teams, I managed to jump a new personal best of 229cm
Bergen 229
After 2,5 years woprking with my coach Gina Dubnova, we finally managed to get a reasonable good result. The past years we had alot of trouble improving my technique and that finally got alot better at the start of this season. The feeling that we were close to a good result was strong but in the first 7 competitions of this season I didnt manage to get it out.
I’m thankful for my coach Gina, she has been working hard on my technique and my horizon for 2,5 years. Now I’ve two months for Berlin andwe don’t know yet what we will do.

Disappointing result after a last minute entry in meeting le athletism Montrieul in Paris, made me eager to prove myself in a meeting that has been in my agenda for quite some time.
The meeting in Paris was tough, I was preparing for the a meeting in Finland when I suddenly get a call I could jump in Montrieul, which messed up my schedule. I accepted but bad preparation led to a bad result. Only managed to jump 215 really no good attempts at the meeting.
So right after the meeting I traveled to Finland to jump in Kourtane, after a good and much needed day rest. I managed to jump well over 221cm and even try some attempts on the qualifcation limit for Berlin.
Now I will prepare for my next meetings and try to jump for a good result again.

In de laatste dag van Mei heb ik in Forbach, een plaatsje in Noord Frankrijk tegen de grens van Duitsland, 2m24cm gesprongen. De wedstrijd was helaas snel voorbij voor veel van mijn concurrenten, de baan was niet heel geschikt voor het springen met een lange aanloop. (meer dan 8 passen) Daardoor hadden veel van mijn concurrenten moeite met het springen van 2m17cm. Niemand haalde deze hoogte helaas en ik moest hierdoor alleen verder springen.
