I am not very happy with where I am but I trust in the process even when it is not necessarily processing right.

I did not do that but I managed to jump higher than anyone else, so I will definitely take the win.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">\u201cThe rain does not help but you have to fix it especially mentally because it is not so cold. At the end, my legs were feeling a little bit too cold to continue. I think I am in PB shape &#8211; I was ready to try for the 2.33m.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI am very grateful to compete here and that I am healthy and that my family at home loves me and these are the things I really hold onto. I have a good life and some nice stuff so that is what I think of.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><script src=\"https:\/\/bblive.bildbyran.se\/embed\/6246_Skpojaanu?bblive=nodebug\" type=\"application\/javascript\"><\/script><!-- bblive widget end --><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>World champion, Tobi Amusan of Nigeria clocked 12.52 to take the women\u2019s 100m hurdles...","protected":false},"author":0,"featured_media":1350,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[20],"tags":[],"city":[],"class_list":["post-1707","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-stockholm"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/stockholm.diamondleague.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1707","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/stockholm.diamondleague.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/stockholm.diamondleague.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stockholm.diamondleague.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1707"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/stockholm.diamondleague.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1707\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stockholm.diamondleague.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1350"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/stockholm.diamondleague.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1707"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stockholm.diamondleague.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1707"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stockholm.diamondleague.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1707"},{"taxonomy":"city","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stockholm.diamondleague.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/city?post=1707"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
