Press points Renaud Lavillenie (Pole vault)

In Lausanne it wasn’t the jet lag but the travel fatigue that was difficult. Rio was also exhausting from a sporting and psychological point of view, and the competitions that follow Championships are always hard. The most important was to see how I was feeling and to avoid an injury. So I’m here with real ambitions compared to yesterday. I managed to win points in the Diamond League race, which is my goal for the end of the season and that I hope to win for a 7th time. Now I need to focus on recovery. Tomorrow I will enjoy the Stade de France like each time I compete here. It will be an interesting competition that I hope to win again after my defeat last year, the first one since 2009.
