Today we kick off another 2018 series, ‘High and low’, in which athletes talk about one particular high point and one low moment from their career. We begin with Ksenija Balta of Estonia, the 2009 European indoor long jump champion, who looks back on her career and picks out a prolonged period of injury frustration plus a very special Olympic moment as a Low and High moment from her career.
Veteran sprinter Kim Collins was hoping to add another special performance on a heady night of world records at the Globen Galan, but a stumble out of the blocks in the 60m final prevented him doing so – although it didn’t prevent him earning an unlikely victory at the IAAF World Indoor Tour meeting in Stockholm on Wednesday (17).
