I knew that I'm in very good shape, so I tried to throw easy and relaxed. Actually the weather conditions were brilliant for me. I don't like to compete in the sunshine. And luckily it didn't rain. So it was perfect. In the final I'll try to get the same feeling as today and just see what happens.

I was a bit unlucky touching the line on my first attempt. I saw that Greer slipped about 20cm, so on my second one I slowed down and played cautious. Right now, I feel OK. I'm not really sure yet about my plan for Sunday. Hopefully, I can go for 6 maximum throws. If not, I"ll give it all at the first one.

To be honest qualifying wasn't that hard with standard at 82m. But there were kind of weird conditions. I didn't think of it because we've got longer spikes, but with the rain, the runway had become very soft. Hopefully it won't be wet in the final. In the second attempt, the wind caught it. The wind is just a lot stronger than what you'd think. Now the 90 metres [throws] are coming. Hopefully, there'll be three or four of us doing it and that is going to be exciting.
