Konstanze Klosterhallen is committed to Olympia "No Limits" - Konstanze
Germany's exceptional driver Konstanze Klosterhalfen does not like to lose time. Shortly after arriving at the Olympic Village in Tokyo she has run "for a round" as a prelude to the final preparation at the 10,000 meter run on Saturday (13.45 clock Mesz). Because of a stress syndrome in the basin, the 24-year-old had to expose longer this year. "The season was a challenge," said Klosterhalfen of the German Press Agency (DPA) on Thursday.
In the past few weeks, she had trained well again and is on a good way. "At the moment I feel very fit. How far I am, will show herself in the race," said the German record, which starts for the TSV Bayer 04 Leverkusen and trains in the US. That it starts over 10,000 meters and not over the 1500 or 5000 meters, is probably calculated.
"Over 10,000 meters, there is only one race. That's the slightest stress," explained Klosterhallen. Over 5000 meters, she would have to survive the lead. In addition, the 10.000s were only on the last day at the start: "That gave me more for two weeks more."
"It's a championship, everything can happen"
In the time she bounced out because of the pelvic problems, she could keep the endurance with alternative training. Therefore, it is a difference from this basic endurance "the quality for the 10,000 meters". Say: Speed!
For monastery globes, it is therefore "supershard, to assess the situation". Nevertheless, the World Cup fourth over 5000 meters in this Olympic race does not look chance: "It's a championship, everything can happen. I am fit and had a good altitude training block last month." Is it enough for a medal? "I do not sit down and limits," the daughter answered a teacher and a lawyer.

That she has made such rar in Germany this year and was almost considered submerged, no conscious withdrawal had been from the public, but had been due to her injury. "I do not want to hide and had to listen to my body. It was rather forced dimensions," explained monastery globes. "Everything stays at the old one. I like to start great in Germany and Europe." She will deny a few races in Europe this year.
"Of course, medals are cooler!"
If this year with the continuation of your record hunt, which was already successful over 1500, 5000 and 10,000 meters, you should not want to attack records again in the future. "I've always loved it to run fast and do not want to borders," she said, adds and adds: "Of course, medals are cooler!"
To get those who belong to the global level, to be able to keep up with the African runners and maybe once to get the honorary title "White African". "That would be a big compliment," said monastery globes. "In 2019, I was able to mix a little more in front, this year I have to look like it," she said. "It's about my goal to arrive." Likewise, it is a desire to make a training camp in Kenya: "I want to get to know the simple life without great distraction times. Also the serenity of the Kenyans is helpful."
Whether this is still something in Paris in Paris 2024 is open. Especially since their career is still in the beginning and Los Angeles 2028 "is also realistic". The basis for your other career wants to create monastery globes further in the US, where they trained at the American Coach Pete Julian in Portland. "At the moment I feel comfortable. As long as my coach and my team are there, I will stay there," emphasized Klosterhallen.
