Emīlija Brauna, who recently claimed silver in the long jump at the U18 European Championships, appeared on a television program to share her thoughts. She expressed pride in her performance, emphasizing that small Latvia can achieve a lot. Before the competition, Brauna was ranked ninth based on personal bests, but she went to the championship with a firm belief that she would earn a medal.
