Louise Gega after winning the gold medal at the Mediterranean Games: Believe me, it wasn't easy.

Gega won the gold medal, as she also achieved a national and Mediterranean record in the 3000m hurdle, writing her golden name in the history book.

Of course not everything was easy for them, as as Albanian athlete for “Panorama Sport” could not communicate with his coach, since there were noises.

Louise, did your “look like a simple” medal this time in relation to the difficulties you faced in other competitions? It wasn't easy, believe me. I had a Tunisian athlete who was really good. Of course, I knew I was a favorite to win, but there are no simple things in sports. I'm in good shape because I've worked hard and systematically. However, I could have done something better than that.

How so?

I could have cut more time. I have also won the Mediterranean Games of Tarragona. This time I wanted to have a better time than what I achieved, but I lost it half a second.

What happened?

During such races, communication with the trainer is important because he tells me time during the entire race. I couldn't hear him this time. There was a lot of noise because at the same time I was competing there were athletes of other disciplines who were racing and were local athletes.

The public was very excited and there was a terrible noise. I couldn't coordinate with time because I didn't listen to the coach. I'm sorry about that, because I couldn't even see the coach in the race. Tennis also have a red flag for coincidence. Most people down on the runway were red. I'm a little upset, but I'm still proud of the achievement.

What's your objective now?

In two weeks I'm competing at the World Championship. Of course, I want to reach the finals and improve my time here as well. It's going to be hard, because besides two very good Kenyans competing for their country, there are two other Kenyans competing with Kazakhstan. It won't be easy, but I'll do my best.

What about the Europeans?

The European is in a month and a half. I hope things go well and I'm faithful that I'll do well there too, but give up time.
