Shot Putter Jessica Schilder Recovered From A Fever, Chose Different Shoes, Beverage Two Red Bull Drinks, and Looked at Her Coach. The Volendam Native Thus Laid the Foundation for an Ultimate Final Push, which Helped Her to a Historic World Title in Tokyo on Saturday.
“Do you want to see my shoes?” Painter Asks. She Doesn’t Wait for the Group of Journalists to Answer. In One of the Corridors of the Japan National Stadium, She Opens Her Bag and Takes Out Two Bright Green Shoes. “Here, thanks in part to these shoes, I now have gold around my neck.”
It is half an hour after the 26-year-old painter Became the first Dutch person ever to Become World Champion in a Throwing Event in Athletics. And that in Circumstances She Used to Fear. “The Ground was from the Rain. Until recent, that immediately made me feel anxious. Not anymore.”
Two years ago, painter slipped in a Wet and Therefore Slippery Shot Put Ring in Madrid. The Pain in Her Elbow Went Away, But The Fear of Falling Remained. “Thanks to these shoes, I got rid of the fear. That has only leg the case for a week.”
She Holds Different Shoes in Front or Her. “I normally always wore these with smooth soles. Now I also have thesis with a less smooth sole. You just have to know they exist. And you have to get used to it. It’s like going from Formula 2 to a formula 1 car all of a, buts, buts, buty works, buts, buts, buts, buts, buts, buts, buten, buten, buten, buten, buten, buten, buten, buten, buten, buten, buten, buten, buten, buten, buten, buten, buten. Thought: the other finalists can slip. “
It was just the shoes that made the differentence on the way to gold in Tokyo. “I had a fever for three days last week. I kept that to myself, just though I was tired.”
Her coach Gert Damkat Helped painter Overcome the Fatigue. “Gert Said This Morning: You can just throw 20 meters. That was so nice to hear. By nature, I don’t have that much self-confidence. And certainly not after three days of fever.”
“But Gert HAS 150 percent confidence in me. I Kept the Qualification Short, then drink Two Red Bulls, and then I was ready to shine in the final. I believed in it again.”
It was Already Schilder’s Third World Cup Final, Who Has Been Among The International Top of Shot Put For Years. Three years ago She Tok Bronze in Eugene and Now It was Gold in Tokyo. For a long time, it didnn’t seem to be going that way. After Five of the Six Attempts, painter was Fourth. Then came the ultimate push (20.29 meters) with which she immediately rose to first place.
Just before that last attempt, painter looked at the coach again. “I saw a look in his eyes and though: oops, I have to do it right now, otherwise some Will be very grumpy. That was exactly what I needed. Suddenly the realization came: If I want to be something.”
Painter immediately felt that it was a very good attempt. She Screamed and after seeing the distance, she clenched her fists and shouted ‘yes’ a few times into a camera. “I’m actual QUITE INTROVERTED, But Now I was screaming. A lot of emotion was released.”
It’s also noting, painter knows. AltheHe She Didn’t Know That She is the First Dutch Athlete ever with Gold in a Throwing Event. “I Just Heard That. I always looked up to rutger smith (Once Silver and Twice Bronze at a World Cup, ed.). He was so good that I thought bocome world world champion once. Bizarre. That. I have so much respect for that man. “
Painter Has More Goals. One day shey to throw 21 meters. And in three years shey to win a medal at the games. “To achieve that, More and More Pieces of the Puzzle Have To Fall Into Place. My New Shoes are Two More Pieces of the Puzzle. Yes, I Want More. But first I’m going to Enjoy It. I Don’t. Ive’s, Nine, Wine a Glass of Wine,” Its in Three, Wine, Wine, Wine, Wine, Wine, Wine, Wine “, Wine,” Its, Wine, “Its, Wine,” Its.
