Second - Tatyana LEBEDEVA, RUS

Competing under the rain is not a problem for me. Every athlete has to compete in the same conditions. But I'm still happy I qualified on the first attempt and could immediately get shelter after that. After the triple jump final I was very disappointed. I thought that my technique had completely gone. But after this good qualification I am relieved because my excellent technique is still there. I did not lose it. But then, it is only qualification. If there can be a Russian sweep again? I do not think so, one medal will be enough here in Berlin. I will not change my hair colour for the final. I stay with this colour because it gave me luck. For the final, I hope I can have the same jump I just had in the qualifying. I injured my back in Monaco, and since then I had problems with my take-off. There's no tonus. But I have to take risks.
