No daily update this time. Ferenc is here to train Ronald and I'm working so.... good luck to them.
We started with a nice meal in Rotterdam, on the Euromast.
Very nice meal, nice company, nice view.
Just eight weeks to go before the big day. The day we've been working for in the last six years. Today several federations handed over their atletes to the National Olympic Commitee. An exciting event, I gather. All dutch competitors of the Olympics and Paralympics in one room.... (you can imagine goosebumps allover)
That after an exciting week in which Ronald became European Champion....feeling fit.... strong.... en confident.
The start off the season was not as good as expected but I think we knew just in time how to reverse the trend. During the European championship he looked strong again and threw a seasons best .
In the following weeks it's a case of keeping strong and finetune the technique. I'm confident the magic threshold of 60 meters is within reach. His 'coach for one year', Ferenc Paragi, will join us for two weeks in Rotterdam. August 17th my journey ends. Ferenc and Ronald will join the Dutch team in their last preparations in Barcelona. From there they'll travel to the last stop in this trip: LONDON !!!
