Nelson Évora ready to jump even further, despite claiming gold

Even with the gold medal around his neck, Nelson Évora was not completely satisfied at the conclusion of the European Indoor Championships.

"I had a good competition, but I was expecting to jump further and I think I can. What matters in these competitions though is winning", said Évora, adding: "I have never managed to win such an important competition twice, so it is obviously really special for me. I always take a bit of sand with me from the sand box after every competition and I will keep it with my medal."
