Famous slogan Red Bull gives you a sign he looked his best on someone like Pedro Pichardo, the triple jump champion at the Tokyo Games and the winner of the 2021 Diamond League. The successes marked by a renowned energy drink brand with the creation of a personalized can with his autograph and two images of himself, one of them in full swing.
“I’m very happy. I didn’t expect anything to make a can. They already told me they wanted to do something, but I didn’t expect it,” she says in her presentation. “When I was told that the bank already official, I was very happy. It’s nice to know that you have my image, “continued the fifth gold medalist of Portugal at the Games.
Do you think this is also a recognition of the Portuguese people? “I think so. It will be nice to know that they will eat a can with my picture and show that they have it at home,” he replies. But was this a dream year? “If I said no, I would be ungrateful But to say yes to me would be incomplete. I wanted more. Speaking of titles, I couldn’t win anymore, I took home the title of the year and the Diamond League. When I say I want more, I mean brands and in this sense I feel a little empty. I wish I could jump more. Nevertheless, I am happy that I brought all the titles of the 2020/21 season to the country and home, “he emphasizes in his calm tone.
“The 18-meter mark is gratifying,” say those who have already reached it twice, both in 2015, and six others who have reached a height of more than 17.90 meters. “But only when I manage to break the record. [mundial ,18,29m, do britânico Jonathan Edwards] I will feel like a complete athlete. Personally, my estimates of 18.08 m and 18.06 m mean little. On the day they mean, it means that I have already accomplished what I have achieved. I’m not like that yet, ”he says.
“Yes, I am a very ambitious person. Very focused on my job and I try to work 100 percent to get to the titles and make the big leap. Obviously this is not easy. We can talk here, and I can lie. You can even say that I can jump 19 meters, but in fact 18 meters is difficult. It is not easy, but I believe that at least I will be able to overcome the barrier of 18.30 m. You just need to keep working in order to be in good shape, to be healthy, and the jump will happen. “
