General
HANDLING PRESSURE
He does not believe pressure has any affect on him. "I acquired a certain degree of maturity over my career. Pole vault is dominated by Europeans so I have nothing to lose. The ones that are expected to get the results are them and not me. My task is to jump without pressure and with confidence because that is why I train everyday."
