Spokojný bol aj tréner Marcel Lopuchovský: nič nerieši, dokáže sa koncentrovať len na samotný beh. Má aj bolesti zubov, pomohol nám český masér, všetko vyšlo. Som spokojný. Plán, vrátane prípravy v Kalifornii, bol dobrý nápad." Iveta Putalová "Iveta je v dobrom slova zmysle nevyspytateľná, obsadila v 3.rozbehu postupové V behu na 60m slovák časom 6.80.
