Mark Foster: “Joensen puts a big smile on my face”

Kommentatorarnir á Eurosport, bretin Mark Foster og týskarin Thomas Rupprath, taka samanum 1500 finaluna:

Eurosport Carrie Anne: “…And then we had the 1500 m, that was some race also…”

Mark Foster: “Yeah, I’m really happy for Joensen. I mean, obviously, Rouault came back. You know, he basically waited and buyed his time until the last 300 m and then just went for it. And he was hoping that Joensen didn’t get too far ahead, but for me Joensen puts a big smile on my face. The fact is he is junior European champion two years ago, trains in a small pool, no facilities, and he came out there, and he went for it, and he hanged on – that is a brilliant story!”

Eurosport Carrie Anne: “And he told me, he couldn’t do anything else…”

Mark Foster: “He couldn’t do… …[he had] no more left. Yeah, no absolutely. He is the young one. He is the least experienced. There is a lot of experience swimmers in there. He took a lot of big caps in his first senior international competition. It was priceless. I think it was brilliant!”

Eurosport Carrie Anne: “Rouault was doing everything right, right?”

Thomas Rupprath: “Yeah, very good tactic. He makes a very, very good last 300 hundred, when you see him,
he makes every 300 6 by feet and he looks very great. And yeah, he was a great champion, Very nice time, french record, and congratulations to France.”
