I did not expect 204 to be enough for the victory. I was expecting it much higher but I was concentrating on my own heights and on staying peaceful. 204 means nothing to me, I would be happy for the new PB. These championships are perfect and I was ready to give everything from myself.

This second world silver is very important to me. I had to be very patient to come back from surgery. I didn't expect a medal and actually nobody thought about me either. I saw the newspapers with medal predictions and the pictures of potential medallists, but I didn't find mine.

It was amazing, so much fun to jump here. Unbelievable. I had so much pressure. I am so proud to have won this medal. This medal means everything to me at the moment and I will celebrate it. It was damn loud in this stadium. I have never experienced such a thing before. Big compliments to my competitors: it was a fantastic competition. I missed the 2.06m only by the breadth of a hair. I am in the shape of my life.
