Ukrainian track and field athlete Irina Gerashchenko commented on her performance in the final Olympic Games 2024 By high jumpwhich earned her a bronze medal.
“I was confident that I could jump further. The first attempt at 1.98 meters was great, I just went out to do the jump. And only after that, when I realized that this could be a medal, I decided to add strength. The second and third attempts were normal, but already the kind that you can’t do.”
“Indeed, luck was on my side. We both came in third with a result of 1.95 m. These are not high results, but the stars aligned and everything worked out in my favor. I am very happy.”
