20 grand slam trifles now for novak of h 3 this year already. he's right on the way to becoming the greatest men player of all time. you're watching data, but news sports line is up. next, for the look at the rocky road to the tokyo olympics, we'll have more on for you at the top of the out. ah, my 1st vice i was a sewing machine where i come from swimming or bones by the potions or something as simple as learning how to write a bicycle, even since i was a little girl, i wanted to have a bicycle off my and it took me years to finally gave up and went to buying them by sizes and return because the sewing machine going, i suppose, was more appropriate for girls than rising a bite. and now i want to reach out to those women back for balance by their duties

and social, who's informed about that basic rights? my name is the about the will and i wore the me, i the we the the the via lympics for athletes in countless disciplines, the ultimate dream. i was 10 when i 1st watched the olympics on tv. it was

estimating and i've been fascinated, ever since. the limping towards relate to tokyo is already underway with the games set to open on july 23rd, despite the rising cobra. i love the lympics and the movement and what makes it really special for me? 3 german athletes offense, a javelin fro and a high jump at their rocky road to tokyo. and i definitely want to be there as well that it is the best scary. maybe it hasn't been coming out is. so there is a risk and concern and almost limbering up at the 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 the persecuted 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 to do. and it's exciting to evening. you pick up the javelin, and it's immediately gratifying to have that feeling back is important to us is actually the 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 the bites away from the power of a powerful in this case means 90 meters plus something he's managed to time and again, in recent years, his goal now is to repeat that feed this year. oh,

i don't know, has a ready competed in a major meet this year. she entered the qualification tournament and cause on russia determined to secure her tickets to the olympics. as where 204 rival fellow fences dolo attacks and fainted, but failed to make the grave. her dreams of making her 1st olympics could now be dashed. ah, he speeded up the olympics. so my big goal now, especially i tell you that the huge sporting festival with so many disciplines are the same place at the highest level. and it's the biggest event out there for months. reports is what, and i want to be part of it. but sometimes there's one final chance for alexander, i'm dolo, via tournaments in madrid, in april. that's what she's focusing on now. but only the window will qualify for

tokyo will full years of high intensity training for the big goal proved to have been in vain. the me it's been a complicated past 12 months for high jump on young slice. the pandemic turned her plans upside down the olympics postponed, training under difficult conditions and no tournaments, the resulting lack of security about the future. also compromise her motivation. and cobit 19 is still impacting on her daily life. her boyfriend's, nikolai has been a pillar of support, helping him make it through these challenging times. to get to do something with friends again or visit relatives without a guilty conscience. and i also went to work with my coach again without any issues,

with the only thing one and a half or 2 meters dance and just isn't normal. this is michelle my. she has the experience and almost fatherly support of her coach and gary and thomas kish is in charge of the german national high jump. the team having worked with young flies for over a decade. now you also provide some much needed confidence as, as my mind, especially then you recognize my weaknesses and helped me to improve. think on a home any between us. that's extremely important. i'm confused. beneficial for our work together. i'm for our goals. i'm in the, for the 2 of them have already been to the canary islands for training this year. your flight has been using the time without competition to hold her, run out perfecting those all important. 14 steps is crucial for her take off, and the height she could clear on the run up is very down to the fact

you have to spend age is fine. and even then years later, it's not ideal. ideally, she just wants to be proving her talents on the big stage, and it could happen in may. if the pandemic get in the way, again, it's tough to assess her current level of performance. is jack has no idea when you're jumping against competitors at a similar level. then you was a massacre. jump a bit higher because of the pressure amount of the 2016 games in rio de janeiro. she finished 7th after clearing one meter 93 violent young slices case. it's all about focusing on her body. thomas also has a silent partner to consider. the more popular top is pretty accurate and i don't have any extremely emotional bonds to my javelin

. that's because they get broken too frequently for me to connect with them. like you do with gibbs. and there's a whole range of them. and they, they're not just in terms of color. there are different materials to it's called the cyber metal, minium steel. alan minium with carbon fiber on the surface are all the same rules. why 2? because at the same level, same wage. same thickness, that's really important. like the only difference is in this particular javelin, according to the wind, the feeling and personal technique. and the vibration is also important with an javelin that silent after all, there's a particular noise when you throw them. if this is going to give it a go up and that involves absorbing one ton in weight. javelin flowing might look straightforward, but it puts the body under enormous strain. and that to means specific training

must use a subtle and perhaps unexpected method. forget he's been practicing his stones and stability on his black line. he suspect it's pretty stick. basically having an amazing the surface and it helps me to train even the smallest muscles and what's going on. the key words here, injury prevention for us. it's not about going as far as possible, regardless by what about insuring a healthy career in sports and something we also try to change up and coming talent is won't enable me to immediately fro server, but it will help to maintain a high level of performance over an extended period of time and invite for the with never harris and your billing of the site, the whole life things. but i just me and he'll need that high level come august 7th. when his biggest event of the year takes place at the tokyo and then picks

up the fall from feeling nervous. he's looking forward to tackling the new outdoor season with less stress and more confidence. i mean, i mainly just entering the phase where things are getting gradually more intensity for the weather is getting warmer in germany. we're doing more targeted training and gradually doing more javelin frozen. and then now we the focus on competing, more specifically on the olympics and madrid at the end of april. alexander, i'm dolo the tournament in the spanish capital is her last chance to get to tokyo. there's no room for error, only the window will stamp that ticket to the lympics. the rest will have to watch from home. alexander and dolo has high hopes and she

gets off to a very promising stuff, comfortably beating an opponent from lithuania, then from hungary. but the semi final present with a rival of a different caliber cap. serina pass neva from bella ruse. the 2 had never faced each other before and although maintains her focus throughout the bouts and ends up as the 15 point to 9 when she's now in the final standing in the way of her pastor. tokyo is all in our creve. it's got from ukraine a to time bronze medal when the world championships. see the favorite and promptly takes the lead. alexandra and solo try to recover repeatedly

landing hits on a opponents body, but not often enough. emerges victorious and is headed for alexandra. and although the olympic dream is over for high jump money, loans, young flies, it will now also be do old die time. the olympic countdown has begun with less than a 100 days to go. the focus is also on finding the right form. so for your stuff is i'll jump at a level, i'm happy with it and we'll be able to go to the games console. come hopefully i'll jump over 19. try how office location, maybe even to meet us is also feeling the exertion of these very special conditions. a prerequisite for all and then pick hopefuls

a corona virus job. and once in tokyo, there'll be no limping village. and a limited number of fans in the stadium. again is an attempt to jump in, i'll be determined to cause there's always a gamble up. i don't want to be too early. there's no help the season. i want to hit my peek in late july early august. that's crucial. performance present, arkansas, and one thing is for sure, so much good. i won't have any more time in the coming weeks for his hobby fishing . and after recharging his batteries, he'll be out to defend his crown in tokyo. ah . busy the

films that touch our hearts made with courage, perseverance and talents. by young filmmakers we met years ago, ah, what are they doing now? against all barely knowledge talents. we visited on dw. ah, the goal was right in front of them all for this one moment. then we agreed to postpone the are the games that tokyo with $22021.00 strong off course during the quantifying ground. not least for sports heroes.

actually it was a slap in the face, but now we just have to fight their mobilizing superpowers. i'm fired up and ready count down during walk down the go to tokyo start july 19 dw, the me ah . busy it's so painful to see so many people leave the country now because they just don't be any future here anymore. ah, it's the time incident history where we could do it. if we fail, it's failing, but it's still nice.
