Flash Interviews: High jump women qualification SUMMARY

Tia HELLEBAUT BEL
I was not too nervous, but I do not have as much confidence as I had last year. My ankle hurt only a little bit today. My technique is better than at the beginning of the season. In the final I want to jump a season's best and of course I want to go for a medal. Vlasic impressed me today.

Yelena SLESARENKO RUS
I jumped the qualification in first attempt, that was my plan. All went well and according to the plan. Finals will be something totally different.

Blanka VLASIC CRO
It will a good opportunity to win a medal. I know I'm considered one of the favourites, but I can handle it. Bar, pit, surface as at every other competition. I know the expectations in my country are very high. Maybe the standard should be little more higher, maybe 195. My last jump was the best. I m ready to fight for the best possible.

Kajsa BERGQVIST SWE
I m always little bit nervous in qualifications. But is over and succesfully. In the finals I want to show the best of me. My shape is good, my technique is coming good. Just need to relax until the final.
