Now reveals DN that even Sarah Sjöström had to buy her own ticket to attend Mondo’s final session. Sjöström also told that she made a big sacrifice when she left early from the Olympic event “walk of fame”.
– However, it dragged on for as long as it took, and after just over two hours I asked how much longer it would take. When they said it would take another half hour, I didn’t dare wait any longer because I wanted to be sure to see all of Mondo’s jumps.
Sjöström fills in:
– I had a ticket but it wasn’t a particularly good seat so I thought I’d show my accreditation to see if there was a possibility of getting a seat closer to the pole vault thanks to it. It didn’t help me one bit though, and I don’t know what came over me but then I showed the gold medals. They were in the bag because I would have worn them during the celebration that didn’t happen.
“If I wanted…”
Sarah Sjöström solved the problem by showing off her gold medal and continues.
– I probably could have gone down from the stands and sat next to Mondo if I had wanted to.
It can be inferred that Sjöström was probably happy with his decision to rush to see Mondo’s jump.
