Saga Andersson pulled out already at the entrance height of 4.05 meters.

Then she received criticism from Alhaji Jeng.

- She has certainly jumped 4.45 before, but she is so experienced and I don't understand the choice of entrance height.

She should have gone in lower.

I am incredibly surprised that she zeroed in on a Finnkamp, ​​said SVT Sports expert Alhaji Jeng.

Andersson believes that there was nothing to complain about in terms of her starting at 4.05.

- My entry height was the one I usually start at.

It is a standard entrance height.

There was nothing strange about it, she says and explains what happened:

- In the first jump, there was too much headwind and it caused me to climb too far.

In the next jump I should have had a stiffer pole or the racks further back.

In the last jump, it was "a limbo" (unsuccessful jump clearly under the bar).

It's simply pole vaulting.

"Very good season"

She believes that a slightly lower entrance height would not have helped in this case.

- Of course, you can think that if you start at three meters evenly, you should be able to skip.

But if the height is enough, there is not much difference in the pole if you start at 3.90 or 4.05.

If you do "a limbo" you will hardly cross any bar at all anyway.

The Finn fight was admittedly a bump in the protocol for Andersson, but she doesn't worry about it.

- It has been a very good season.

The EC was the competition I was aiming for and when I got to the WC it was a bit of a surprise.

It has been a good season and my level has risen, which is important.

I can be satisfied with the season, but know that I have more to give, she says.

"Hard competition"

Andersson also enjoys sparring against a fine generation of pole vaulters in Finland.

Wilma Murto, who is two years older, became European champion earlier this summer.

- It's very important.

When you have tough competition, it pushes you forward.

It only motivates to fight even more in the competitions.

It was great to have Elina (Lampela) and Wilma (Murto) at the EC and WC.
