Jessica Schilder over EK titel: "I didn't throw well, but it was enough to win" (video)

It was an amazing competition, I really enjoyed it. Firstly, I didn't throw well today, but it was enough to win. I'm not really pleased with what I did, but hopefully I will be able to throw a little bit better in Tokyo.
Before my last throw, I was thinking that I have throwned over 18 metres several times before, and today it showed if I gave a try, I could go over the 18 metre mark - it was 18.11 metres in the end.
I'm not really satisfied but it was enough for the win. We have a few other girls and men back in The Netherlands, it's a new generation coming up, and I am really looking forward to competing with them all in the future.
