– I’m of course happy. I didn’t particularly expect it, I just tried to jump for fun. One jump didn’t work out very well, but the rest went well. I’m happy.
— How did you prepare for this departure?

— Did you like the new format of the competition?
— This is the first time we compete in this format. Very interesting.
– Is your projectile a tower?
— I jump both 3 meters and 10 meters. I managed to perform better from the tower.
