There is no more wonderful artistic expression than movements that follow a rhythmic and perfect sequence... Before I was a jumper, I loved my classical ballet classes. By chance and fate, I joined athletics, at the request of my twin brother, who was a fan of this sport after we saw the complete athletics at the Barcelona '92 Olympics. I joined this sport with a bit of apathy, because suddenly I was bored, but over time I found some meaning in it. 5 years after running middle distance, I learned the triple jump. It was like dancing ballet again for me. The push-off race has an almost perfect rhythm and the moment in the air in its 3 executions is a composition of a song in my head. It is an expression of strength, speed, power and aerodynamic flexibility balanced in approximately only 6 seconds that lasts a single jump. In each competition I can repeat and feel this joy 6 times (the 6 opportunities to jump in a competition, 3 semi-final jumps and 3 final jumps). What more could I ask for?
