下面是邁克斯通對(duì)于那天比賽的回憶
在我的眼里在我的眼里那個(gè)撐桿跳的每個(gè)細(xì)節(jié)都很清晰,桿設(shè)置在一個(gè)新的高度。當(dāng)我聽見觀眾的嘆息我知道我的對(duì)手沒能跳過去。該我時(shí)我心里充滿了焦慮,我很緊張,手心開始出汗。我試圖努力擺脫緊張情緒,但是失敗了。在關(guān)鍵的時(shí)刻我想起媽媽的建議:深呼吸,于是我成功地控制住了自己的情緒。于是我助跑挑起,撐過。歡呼聲像鷹鳴一樣沖天而起,就像我在無數(shù)次夢中夢到的那樣。我的落地點(diǎn)上的隆起將我?guī)Щ噩F(xiàn)實(shí),我成功了!這不僅僅是夢想,而是真正的事情。所有的汗水和努力都得到了回報(bào)。朋友們沖上來祝賀我,我被無數(shù)媒體的閃光燈環(huán)繞
