Often You Need To Take Some Risk,

My Policy Was Just To Give Good Things For Sports In My Region.

You Need To Work Very Hard, You Have To Spend A Lot Of Time Practicing Your Sport - Six To Seven Hours Daily.

People Come From Around The World And Can Understand Each Other Without Even Speaking The Same Languages!

I Love The Pole Vault Because It Is A Professor's Sport. One Must Not Only Run And Jump, But One Must Think. Which Pole To Use, Which Height To Jump, Which Strategy To Use. I Love It Because The Results Are Immediate And The Strongest Is The Winner. Everyone Knows It. In Everyday Life That Is Difficult To Prove.

The Strategy Of My Coach And Me Was That We Looked At Pictures Of All The Best Pole Vaulters From Around The World, And We Took The Best Parts From Them, And We Created A Person That Had Never Existed. We Then Started To Work Toward Being Such A Person.
