Holly Bradshaw<\/b>
Personally I really love street meets. It gets the most out of me and the crowd was amazing tonight. Plus I feel in great shape now. Now I’ll go in a similar event in Newcastle, and being in the UK it will also be special.<\/p>\n

Sandi Morris<\/b>
It’s a very peculiar place to compete at, people are very close. But I love it! I was feeding of their energy. I’m tired after Rio, there have been so many emotional ups and downs… The atmosphere here helped me a lot. I really wanted to have fun and I did!<\/p>\n

Ekaterini Stefanidi<\/b>
It is really nice to feel the audience right next to you but it’s very different from being on a big stadium and it takes a little to get used to it. It felt great to see all those Greek people living here who came to support me.
It is hard to come from a big event. You’re mentally tired. I thought neither me nor Sandi were going to win tonight, but still there is no pressure on these occasions and you can test some things. Anyway, I feel I can jump 5 meters, I see it, just things haven’t come together yet.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
