The champion of 2022 came so near to winning the title of another 1500 m, but he only thanks and feels positive about his Tokyo’s experience.
Jake Wightman literally just out of Tokyo’s Chair and packed his medal in his presentation box when he sat down Time To reflect extraordinary days in the National Stadium. Seeing his name, the silver finally started to dip.
Since becoming 1500m in 2000m in 2022, sports were not kind to a 31-year-old child. The injury has robbed him about the opportunity to defend this title in 2023, even more painfully, the last minute of the last summer removed his Olympic dream.
Even in February of this year, the torn the most needed surgery, then when he was ready for British trials, the disease came out to compete in Birmingham and chose this World Cup. However, he received the nose, and he seemed to be far away in Tokyo. Since some big names have fallen next to the road, Wightman has gone through the minimum noise noise, with stronger and assuring each stage.
According to his team, Josh Ker and Dutch Nils Laros expected to fight for gold, he was able to run with freedom, he almost landed another golden moment.
Even in Evgen, as before, his father’s gezophone, Wightman put himself in a perfect position to pass 200 m. When he gave Ker’s father, Laros faded, charged the cup for gold only to be narrow. The winning margin was only 0.02, with the decoration of the Rock of Isahak Nader in Portugal.
However, this was a silver medal than a lost gold medal. That Wightman was there, he was achieving. After missing the Olympic Games, he tore his life, moving his life from his favorite London to Manchester and completed his working relationship with his work office. He is now working with his future mother-in-law John, and so farper, he spoke through what was the year of contradictions.
As compared to this medal moment in 2022 with Yevgen.
The national anthem of Portugal does not resonate with me the same as the British for some reason. But that’s pretty cool. When you look at the flags, it makes you clear that it is a world champion, and then the medal tells your name, it’s pretty cool. Not so long ago, I didn’t have one of them.
You have time and planned holidays.
I’m going to visit my brother in Brooklyn, and then we will go to several weddings, including Jemma Reiki. And then we will go to Dubai with another couple, which will be really beautiful.
It’s weird, because physically, you don’t really need most of the break. We sit in hotel rooms, just freezes a lot of time. I spent all my time on this trip quite too much, just lying on the bed so almost you don’t want a beach holiday. You want something that has actions that you can enjoy. But that’s a lot that just turns off the athletic mode and being a little normal person I enjoy.
How did John work and like your new composition?
He was great. He was previously involved in my father, that’s why it happened. He receives help (Head of the Former British Athletics; So he is a good plank.
They all have regular catch and he will talk about how he thinks I feel or what my screams need to speak more than me.
How important has George been in all this? What was his role?
He probably knows as well as anyone else’s workouts so he is really good. I was probably struggling with my father, because I didn’t have that sound how I was feeling, and he was probably the same, and he was disappointed. Sometimes, because I didn’t say anything, those disappointments would rise.
I am at age and finger in my career where I know what I need, and I can access a little more and he takes a little more. Sometimes we would fall from it, just because he was much less likely to be the budget. Many of them are his personality and most of it, because he is my Father, and he knows what is in the past. But it didn’t work because I was hurt so we needed to change, and that’s the best.
It reached the point where he was probably afraid of telling things, because it would be gone to the wind, and it is not good to walk it. You are more likely to have another argument or disagreement, because you are a little more about the edge and a little more stressed things, so just enjoyed having a clean slate.
How much does it mean to go somehow to fix your relationship with the launch?
It was still tense for these champions. I really didn’t enjoy my race for most of this year, and I didn’t have much satisfaction with the tribes I had.
Aren’t you going to the UK trials really shocked me because it was another thing I’ve missed and it could have been brought out of my hands again? I really struggled with it. I had to remind me all year when I knew this was on the radar, not just to see a victory that I can get ratified. Even when I first crossed that line in the final, I was like. I won because I got a silver medal and I didn’t lose that race. Someone else was better than me. “
I honestly I don’t think I could drive better. Niels Laros was probably loved for the race, and he didn’t even receive a medal so that I could easily have that race and didn’t get anything.

What is back to you? You had so many reasons just called one day. Would be clear if you had.
I still believed I had it in me. I would stop if I would believe I wouldn’t be well, but I never thought about it. Every time I was building these seasons, I didn’t have a good training thing I knew well. “I can actually be competitive here.” I couldn’t just feel such a feeling and then not thinking for beginner lines, so this year was great for it.
I should have believed I could do it and actually go and do it, because otherwise it was three years since I wanted I want me to do. I do it to get the best and I’m doing a certain standard and thank you for the people who have been able to get back to me at that moment.
What has helped you on the mental side of things? It must be difficult, and is completely natural to have a lot of concerns in your mind when you have had these injuries.
I sincerely have to do some work on it. In this season, many small things have appeared, which are more fierce me than ever, and it’s a lot, because I just have so much trauma and I didn’t even do.
Without it, I have made great changes in my life during the last year that I didn’t really sit and understand. Manchester is my home now and I’ve hardly been there. I have friends there, but that’s not the life I have had these last few years, so I have to work hard to make sure that it feels like it feels.
Alex, my physii and my sprint coach, but also a good friend moved to London, and he was one of the great reasons when I moved to Manchester. He received a great job opportunity, but I also had to do it. He was not the only reason. I moved because there is a generally better medical support, but it’s a lot of loss for me.
But in the next few months, I will try and make Manchester my house, not just the place we have moved into all these items in the house. My network in London was very strong, and we left very suddenly. I really didn’t realize how big it would be.
It is important to note that changes have taken place for you.
I have ever had the greatest life. I had a fairly smooth existence until those points. I would never have a different coach and, universe, I lived in the same place all that time, so it was just a lot to do at the same time.
And next year they are looking forward to looking forward to household games and European championships
This will probably be my latest collaboration games, so it’s a nice place to end myself, because my first was in Glasgow in 2014.
The reality for Europeans is that many of the great names will not be there. Europe is so strong in a minute, so it will be a real test. This (world championships) simply hope that I have been left in this sport for several years, because I was not sure how long I was going to continue. I’m going to try to reproduce so much as possible.
