Qualification for Helsinki in HeusdenJuly 24th 2005 - After a priod of continued health problems, Simon rebounced tonight on the Belgian track of Heusden with a 5th place in 8.15.85. This time was over 10 seconds under the World Championships qualification time and one of the faster times in Europe for this year. " I had expected, if I had the power back in my legs, to easily qualify. But 8.15.... woow, it beats me completely!!" , Simon reacted excited after the race. Simon now has just over 2 weeks to get ready for Helsinki, and will likely spend this time at home.
