Just half a year after her birth, Adriana Swick-Schubert made her Olympic debut in Paris. She started competing in the heptathlon on Thursday and showed herself in really good form in the first competition. In the 100m hurdles her time of 13.32 seconds gave her sixth place. Unfortunately, her performance was a little worse later on, after a first day of four competitions she finished eighth. – Impossible does not exist in my dictionary. (…) I used 100 percent of the time given to me. I showed myself at the start. I showed that you cannot delete my name, you can only know the second part. I believe that tomorrow will be better – she assured the TVP cameras.
