Gold MedallistPEDROSO, Ivan (CUB)
"This is my third world title and to secure this gold was the most important thing for me, the distance did not matter to me. I felt some pressure from Lamela (ESP)but after I jumped over 8.50 I was certain that would be enough for gold".
Bronze Medallist - CANKAR, Gregor (SLO)
"It was an excellent competition because the conditions were so good with the wind coming from behind us. A great help. I did have a last jump of about 8.50 but unfortunately it was a foul."
Silver Medallist - LAMELA Yago (ESP)
"To get the silver in the best competition of the year is special. Maybe in the future I will be in even better condition and win the gold. I'm young and have much to learn technically and so I know I can jump further".
Medalla de oro - PEDROSO, Ivan (CUB)
"Este es mi tercer titulo mundial y asegurar este oro era lo mas importante para mi, la distancia no me importaba. Senti cierta presion de Lamela (ESP), pero despues de que salte 8,50 estaba seguro de que bastaria para el oro."
Medalla de plata - LAMELA, Yago (ESP)
"Conseguir la plata en la major competicion del ano es especial. Quiza en el futuro estara en aun mejor forma y ganare el oro. Soy joven y tengo mucho que aprender tecnicamente asi que se que puedo saltar mas."
Medalla de bronce - CANKAR, Gregor (SLO)
"Era una excelente competicion porque las condiciones eran tan buenas con el viento de espaldas... Una gran ayuda. Hice un ultimo salto de alrededor de 8,50 pero desgraciadamente fue nulo."
