I never think about records. I focus on my race and try to get onto the podium consistently. It's hard enough to do that.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
For me, I've not really focused on a world record. I'm just trying to put a complete race together, and when I do that, then fast times will come.
The world record will come to me when I run the world record race. I'm just trying to perfect my race. I'm looking for perfection.
I don't think about records.
You make a record because you have to chart your progress, not only for yourself, but for your audience.
I've frowned at the idea of breaking records, the first one to do something, or do it longer, higher, more difficult.
If I remain healthy, I can win more races, but I don't think so much about setting new records. I'm already proud to have become the leading Austrian World Cup racer.
Do not think about records, because one day, they will break.
We certainly strive for trying to make a quality record throughout, and I think that's true of all of our records.
But I think it's hard for me to only put out one record a year. Because I get too antsy. But it's good I'm learning to do that, because each record counts. And you should make it count.
During the decathlon, I always think only of the next event and my personal record.
