Sofie Dokter from Groningen is back on earth after a pink cloud. ‘But World Cup success has given me a huge boost’

She was floating on a pink cloud for a few weeks, but has been back on earth for a while. Athlete Sofie Dokter, who became world indoor champion in the pentathlon at the end of March, opened her outdoor season in Lisse on Saturday and will soon meet her competitor Anna Hall again. “I don’t feel that I necessarily have to beat her again,” says Dokter about the woman she left behind at the World Indoor Championships.
