<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\nHow long has this performance been on the radar?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n I have had this goal since August 2021. At that time, I was still 30 centimeters short.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Was it easy to reach?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Honestly, I expected it to come later in the season. We ended the winter with one last competition where I jumped five meters. I only had eight centimeters left, but I still had three months to do it. To have come out of the performance now, it's something incredible. We can now focus on another objective than reaching the minimum.<\/p>\n\n\n\n How do you see this first world championship with your coach?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n For the moment I don't realize it yet, I think. With my coach, we find it incredible to say that from now on, we will train to do a better performance in Cali. A better performance than 5 meters 10. We don't just wait for them anymore, but we aim higher.<\/p>\n\n\n\n What would be the craziest, but most likely thing that could happen during your worlds?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Aiming for a podium is impossible, unless you have a lot of chances. Otherwise, the minimums are set so that you automatically go to the final, it seems to me. Reaching it could become a goal, but a personal best is always something crazy, especially at these heights.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Duplantis, an inspiration for you or do you represent yourself little?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n It would be nice to be able to jump as well as he does, but he's not an athlete I follow closely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n And in future years, what if you were the next inspiration?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n I don't really aspire to be a world star, I just want to jump higher and higher.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Written by Trackandmemes, May 3, 2022 My name is Pierre Straet and I am 19 years old.
