Ms. Namita Nayyar: You won a bronze medal at the 2004 Summer Olympics, silver medal at the World Indoor Championships, bronze medal at the European Indoor Championships and many more. Tell us about one of the most memorable experience that you may have had at these Championships.
Ms. Jolanda Čeplak: Summer OG in 2004 were very difficult for me. After great performance and sovereign win in Munich in 2002, I came to the OG with 5. result. Many expected a medal from me. I felt so much pressure before the start. There was really strong competition and I was lacking confidence, so I ran on the tail (on 8th place). 200m from the finish I was still far outside the medal position. Then suddenly I woke up and felt I have some energy left and pushed myself to my limits, while overtaking the competition on the outside line. And I finished in 3. place really close to Kelly Holmes (who won) and 2.
Ms. Namita Nayyar: Advice and motivational words to the inspiring and budding middle distance athletes who all are your fans, they shall like to know from you, what they should do for their climb to ladder of success in this field?
Ms. Jolanda Čeplak: I don’t think there is one, single way to come to the top. Every athlete should listen to them-self, believe in them-self and stay motivated. Don’t let anyone distract you, or ruin you dreams. Choose the coach and team (therapist, club) which you believe in, work hard and stay focused.
Ms. Namita Nayyar: What do you wish to say about the website Womenfitness.net and message for its visitors?
Ms. Jolanda Čeplak: The website Womensfitness.net is very transparent, with many useful advices.
For anyone who does recreational or professional sport I would stress out that it is more important how the training is done, than what you are doing. Be focused, motivated, train hard and results will come.
