She had been in Fukuoka and the camp for half a day when she met the media in a digital press conference organized by the Swedish Athletics Association.

She smiles and is her usual playful self, content to be able to stand up at all.

After the meniscus operation this spring, she had ruled out the Olympics but now has a chance to compete with the best on the sport's biggest stage.

Even if the odds have deteriorated considerably. 

It was an ordeal to relate to the pandemic and the interaction was chosen with care.

There were seven corona tests in Sweden before leaving for Tokyo.

- It has been incredibly tough.

It is only before the Olympics that I really start to worry.

In the past, it has been like "keep your distance, wash your hands and stay clean".

But it has been incredibly important to feel that everyone I hang out with has not been allowed to hang out with anyone but me, but they have had to wait with it until I left.

Stopped hugging

Sagnia has been hard on herself and made demands on her surroundings.

- It has been incredibly important for me to be able to trust my surroundings and that I myself have been very anti to people, have taken my car everywhere, not hugged.

I'm still pretty proud of myself.

I like to hug but now it has been very strict with it, says Sagnia.

It was a much bigger process than she could have imagined.

- There has been a lot to do at the airport with corona tests and paperwork.

I did not understand that it could have happened in this way, which meant that I could not be as happy as I want to be, but all my strength has gone to coronatest and to stay away from people, made sure that you do not is positive or get close to someone who is positive.

Now that you are here, I just try to get in the mood and relax because I have always been on my guard the last few weeks, says Sagnia.

Extremely tough competition

Last year, she lined up long lengths with 6.92 as the best, which gave her a third place on the world best list.

After the knee operation this spring, the season was postponed and Sagna has jumped 6.72 at best, from the season debut at Stockholm's stadium on July 4, which gives her a 34th place on the world best list where as many as seven active people jumped over seven meters.

- I think 6.70-80 is enough for the final.

That so many jumped well is completely sick and I choose to see it as inspiration.

I get to take in all the good that is out there.
