For me, this record represents much more than a simple sporting performance: it helped me to go through the darkest period of my life. I am therefore deeply and sincerely grateful to all the people who have supported me during all these years, as anhlete, but especially as a person. It will be the most difficult time of my career, because I have prepared for it at the same time as for individual prosecution, my other (and very different!) Passion.
