Brava to Friedrich! Undefeated this season (?), 2.05 PB, then comes thru in champs. Was jumping with a bad cold as well.
I have never seen as radical a looks "makeover" as hers before this indoor season. (Anybody wanna post before-after?) How much do you think her look contributes to her overall confidence?
As much as I have enjoyed Blanka's celebrations, Friedrich's are another kind of fun.

Blanka's comments:
- I am shocked, I can`t believe I didn`t jump 196 cm. My technique was really bad, I should have stepped harder. However, 196 cm should not have been a problem. I really don`t understand what happened, this is not my first competition. Clearly, European competitions are not my fate – Blanka commented her failure less calmly than her father did.
- There are worse and better moments in the life of every athlete, because people are complex beings. Even Sergei Bubka used to perform at a competition and strike out, but he remained remembered and great nevertheless – coach Vlasic explained.
Even though he said that such things happen, he could not hide Blanka`s disappointment. They talked straight after that result and she was visibly shocked, but was not taken aback.
- This result did not make her falter, she must realise that this is something which happens, a blackout moment. She has a lot more to say, she has the best years ahead of her. Only one is without faults, us others are not – Josko Vlasic concluded cheerfully, just as he began the conversation.
