“To compete outside the stadium is not exceptional anymore. I’ve done it several times already : in Zürich, in Stockholm, in some German cities, but the Grand Place of Brussels is quite exceptional and something very special to look forward to. In the stadium the Shot Put is never really in the spotlights, compared to sprinting and running. This is different. On a city square the contact with the crowd is better and that is an extra motivation. It’s also spectacular for the audience to watch us from close by. Yes, I’m excited about this competition and I absolutely want my revenge for Rio.”
