After the qualifications in the morning, painter reported that her body is tired after a long season. In it she already achieved success by winning gold in March at the European Indoor European Championship in Apeldoorn with a Dutch record of 20.69 meters and two weeks thereafter to conquer silver at the World Indoor World Cup in Nanjing (China).
Two cans of energy drink had to boost her, she said. They didn’t help initially, because in her first five attempts she didn’t come over 20 meters and a medal seemed to get lost. But in her last push she threw everything out, resulting in the greatest success in her career.
