STATEMENTS TO RTP

Pedro Pichardo: "For me, representing Portugal is a privilege. It is with medals and results that I want to thank the country. On that victory jump [17.98 meters] I felt I was carrying the whole country with me. I received a lot of messages from the Portuguese giving me support in the last days. When I made that jump I already felt a little more at ease in the competition."
