I feel very good because all my hard work and all that traveling finally paid off. This moment is very emotional and I need 5 minutes to take a breath and to realize it. I managed to compete whole season and to stayed injury free, so I was on the way to achieve such a result. Today was one of the best days of my life. It is amazing feeling.
I tried all my best to jump well. My personal best is 17.74 and I thought I could reach that level today, but it didn't work. I don't know what happened. I'm still very happy, this is my first silver medal too. I appreciate having rivals like Idowu because it is good for the sport and also good for the show.
I am very satisfied with my bronze medal. I trained hard and really waited for these championships so much. This year has been excellent for me and I knew that I could do a fine jump. In Cuba we have a lot of high level jumpers at the moment. I am very proud to have won this medal for the Cuban team being the youngest of the team.
