The Götzis Meeting 2024 is over. As always there was a lot of excitement for this event, unfortunately, I wasn't able to deliver all my top performances this weekend. Still, I was super happy because I passed the magic mark of 5 metres in the pole vault for the first time. Another strong improvement, and now it’s back to training with the focus on the Olympic Games in Paris.
In January, I was invited to train with Damian Warner in sunny Santa Barbara, California. Is was a great and inspiring experience, with many hours of sunshine. Warner won gold in the decathlon at the 2020 Summer Olympics.

At this year's meeting in Götzis, I finally exceeded the magical limit of 8000 points. I have to admit that not everything went smoothly during the competition, but the result was incredibly satisfying. It makes me enthusiastic about the rest of the season.
Usually, my week includes seven to nine training sessions. During colder months, it mainly consists of running and strength exercises indoors to create a good foundation. The closer the competition, the more I focus on my techniques and fine-tuning.
The first day put me in a very positive mood because, overall, I could perform very consistently. The second day started shaky, but with discipline after discipline, it got better. Ultimately, a new personal best of 7949 points was enough for 9th place.
Join me on my road to the Olympic Games in Paris 2024.
