Ben Broeders after Belgian record: “It was the ugliest jump of the evening” | Athletics

“It was a bit of a turbulent summer, with changing conditions or my calves not wanting to come along, but today it was just good”, Broeders reflected.

“The conditions were good: the sun went down and the wind died down. Actually it was a very nice evening and I just enjoyed it.”

“It is an inspiration to be there when Mondo jumps”, said Broeders about the record jump of Armand Duplantis, who jumped 6.15m. I will stay in Rome for a few more days to enjoy the city with “Mondo”. “

Broeders sees room for progress in the long term. “There is certainly room for improvement, but for this season it is gradually over for me. My jump at 5.80m today was the ugliest of the evening, but luckily the bar remained.”

“There is pressure from the kettle now that this record is in, but I also want to do well next week in Doha. I tore my hamstring this season, and yet I am jumping this record, so I cannot possibly complain about this year. Mission accomplished.”
