When training in India, I have to fill my car with equipment and even a portable massage table.

She was suffering from allergy and knee pain due to which she could not train before competition.

From 2002 to now, I have competed in many world events and gained more experience during this period. I am totally a different competitor now. I will be putting my experience to better my Manchester performance.

I will look to make it to the finals first and will not go full pelt in the qualifying jumps.

My training session has been going well even though I have not been jumping yet.

It does not bother me too much. I am pretty confident of doing well.

We also have the World Cup in Athens and the World Championships in Stockholm apart from the Asian Games in Doha, so it is going to be a pretty hectic season.

We are still learning and constantly experimenting with various sprinting techniques to see what can provide the best performance.

At the top level of international competition, there is very little difference between the various jumpers and who performs best on the day wins.

Often, there has been serious concern and debate over whether I might flop in international competitions. But most of my best performances have come in major events and the best record of 6.83m was achieved at the 2004 Athens Olympics.

India has a very transparent drug testing system and we compare well to countries like China and Russia whose athletes are also suspect.

I have worked on my rhythm and landing and they have improved since my last competition. I am happy with the situation now.
