olympics for athletes in countless disciplines the ultimate dream to get is that i was 10 when i 1st watched the olympics on t.v. it was fascinating and i've been fascinated ever since. torch relay to tokyo is already underway with the games set to open on july 23rd despite rising kovac race you know i love the olympics and the movement it's what makes the top 3 night so special for me. 3 german athletes offense a javelin thrower and a high jumper and very rocky road to tokyo and i have done this and i definitely want to be there although it is a bit scary maybe this person has it and can infect others so there is a risk i'm concerned with and i'm. limbering up at

a training camp in turkey for him it's been an extraordinary year after the postponement of the olympics he took a break to concentrate fully on physical preparation as opposed to competition over the winter that meant training indoors but now he's finally back outside. and suddenly picking up the javelin again feels just amazing like a child having that bicycle taken away and then being allowed to get on it again it's something you never forget how to do and it's exciting to you pick up the javelin and it's a media gratifying to have that feeling back. is important to us exactly and technique is crucial it's a really special feeling if you haven't done it in 6 months you're so hungry that you can't wait to launch a long and powerful fro again by power it's available. powerful in this case means 90 meters. plus something he's managed time and again recent years his goal now

is to repeat that feat this year. alexander has already competed in a major me this year. she entered the qualification told a men's in russia determined to secure her ticket to the olympics as were 204 rival fellow fences. attacked and fainted but failed to make the grade her dreams of making her 1st olympics could now be dashed. painted at the olympics are my big goals now especially. as i thought this huge sporting festival with so many disciplines at the same place at the highest level and. it's the biggest event out there for months sports and i want to be part of it and timing there's one final chance for alexander via

a tournament in madrid in april that's what she's focusing on now but only the winner will qualify for tokyo. will 4 years of high intensity training for the big gold prove to have been in vain. ringback. it's been a complicated past 12 months since the high jumper. the pandemic turned her plans upside down the olympics postponed training under difficult conditions and no tournament the resulting lack of security about her future also compromised her motivation comes covert 19 is still impacting on her daily life her boyfriend has been a pillar of support helping her make it through these challenging times. through

the getting them to do something with friends again over that relatives without a guilty conscience i also went to work with my coach again without any issues. one and a half or 2 metres distance just isn't normal. she has the experience and almost fatherly support of her coach. she's in charge of the german national high jumper team having worked with young flies for over a decade now also provides some much needed confidence. recognised my weaknesses and helped me to improve. between us that's extremely important it's beneficial for our work together and for our goals. the 2 of them have already been to the canary islands for the training this year. has been using without competition. affecting those all important steps is

crucial for takeoff and the clear. run up is very tough to protect you have to spend ages find chilling out and even then years later it's not ideal. she just wants to be proving her talents on the big stage and it could happen in may if the pandemic does. get in the way again it's tough to assess the current level of performance. no idea when you're jumping against competitors at a similar level then you automatically jump a bit higher because of the pressure. of the 2016 games in rio de janeiro she finished 7th after clearing one meter 93 while in young flushes case it's all about focusing on her body. also has a silent partner to consider. some

of the partner is pretty accurate i don't have any extremely emotional bonds to my javelins that's because they get broken too frequently for me to connect with them like you do with it. there's a whole range of them if that's and they very not just in terms of color there are different materials to. carbon fiber metal. steel minion with carbon fiber on the surface they're all the same rules wise to the same length same weight same thickness that's really important the only difference is in the 3. particular javelin according to the wind feeling and personal technique and the vibration is also important javelins that silent after all there's a particular noise when you fro them. it is a global issue. that involves absorbing one ton weight javelin throwing might

look straight forward but it puts the body under enormous strain that 2 means specific training. uses a subtle and perhaps unexpected that. he's been practicing his stance and stability on a slack line. pretty specs. but it's basically about having an uneven surface that helps me to train even the smallest muscles. of the key words here injury prevention for us it's not about growing as far as possible regardless but about ensuring a healthy career in sports something we also try to teach up and coming talent practice won't enable me to immediately fro further but it will help to maintain a high level of performance over an extended period of time. for your

bowling of the types who are licensed by. you'll need that high level come august 7th when his biggest event of the year takes place at the tokyo in the pics. but far from feeling nervous he's looking forward to tackling the new outdoor season with less stress and more confidence. i mean he said before entering a phase where things are getting gradually more intense the weather's getting warmer in germany we're doing more targeted training and gradually doing more javelin froze then they'll be the focus on competing and more specifically on the olympics. madrid at the end of april alexander the tournament in the spanish capital is her last chance to get to tokyo. there's no
