« I do not get tired of winning ! We never get tired of it. It's a pleasant feeling. Of course, I master better and better with experience. In 2016, it was my first official Senior competition. I have made my place. I control my emotions more easily when I arrive for my finals. Tactically and physically also because we have new training. It helps. Mentally, I was going very well for this final. It is important. I tried to reproduce the best I did in previous years. My failures, especially the Worlds in Linz (2016), allowed me to learn.

The emotion when you are European champion is different every time. In 2016, it was in front of my public, in Montpellier. In 2017, it was before the public of my opponent in the final. This is the 3rd time. Each time, I want to cry so much I'm happy. It's really a great satisfaction ».
