US-based European pole vault silver medallist Ekaterini Stefanidi of Greece takes a look at some of the more significant aspects of her athletics life.
My best friend in athletics
I couldn’t say one person. My boyfriend, Mitchell, would be one. We train and compete together. Then I would say all my coaches have always been my best friends – Nick (Hysong), Toby (Stevenson) and my coach when I was in Greece (Panagiotis Simeonidis). I would also include on the list many of my Greek team-mates.
