(Crying) "I don't want to speak, I am so disappointed."

Bronze Medallist - Anju Bobby GEORGE IND

"This is the first medal for my country and I am very happy for it, it like a gift for India.

"It was a tight competition. I got the rhythm after the first round but I didn't think I was jumping well. Even with my best jump I had problems on taking off. I didn't realize it was so long.

"I have been training in the USA for three months with my coach, who is also my husband. We had advice from Mike Powell.

"It doesn't matter how much you jump here. Only medals count."
