Additional information

DIVERSIFYING
"I told coach that I want to try my hand at other events and have fun. This way I won’t be bored of one event, being young it will contribute towards my overall development as an athlete, it will fulfil my bizarre wish of doing other events. Well I think if I train regularly, I can long and triple jump quite far. I will try it out this season outdoors." (scroll.in, 26 Feb 2018)
