Coach Sees Mental Strength Boost for Estonian High Jumper Karmen Bruus After Birmingham Setback

While the high jump final at the European Championships in Birmingham did not go as planned for Estonian athlete Karmen Bruus, her coach Gaspar Epro expressed a sense of peace regarding her performance. The disappointment of the event is tempered by the significant progress Bruus has made, suggesting a positive trajectory for her career.

Bruus, who is Estonia's top high jumper this season, demonstrated her potential to reach heights not seen since she set the national record of 1.96 meters. This mark placed her among the world's top ten, and her coach believes she is capable of even greater achievements in the future.

Epro highlighted that Bruus has not only strengthened physically but has also undergone crucial mental development. This dual improvement is seen as key to her ability to compete at an elite level and overcome challenges, paving the way for her return to peak performance.
