I compete in the 100m and 200m.

Both my parents are former athletes so I couldn’t escape my destiny.

You travel the world and you compete at stadiums with 70-80k people. You meet so many new friends.

In the winter I do a lot of weights, at least 3 times and tempo runs after. In the summer I do fewer weights, but lots of high intensity running. I have weeks that I don’t have a day without putting on my spikes.

My 100m European U23 record and my European titles in 100m and 200m.

I think about big championships from the moment I step on the track. Knowing that you have to be at your best there is taking me slowly to the moment and the day of the race. On the day I love some music during the warm-up, I do some strides, some active stretching, getting faster and faster in about 1 hour before the competition.

I broke my femur in 2005 and it took me lots of time and work to come back.

All the athletes who are honest and worked hard to keep their name and place in the sport for years. They are such an inspiration.

I’m lucky to be underweight most of the time and I don’t like sweets, so I have the opposite problem, my coach is pushing me to eat.

A guy shouted from the tribune “Ivet, marry me” at the semi-final of the European championship. I did my best not to laugh.

Never stop looking for more. Keep learning, asking, reading, watching, discussing your event. It’s the only way to get better and better.
