Luiza Gega, declared European champion in the 3000 meter steeplechase, was invited this Thursday evening to the show 'Opinion' together with her coach Taulant Stërmasi.

Luza Gega says that she loved this medal very much and that she thought her time had come. And she considers 2022 as the last year in her career so far. Among others, Gega has also shown why he chose to train in Kenya, in Africa.

Blendi Fevziu: You know African athletics because you trained in Kenya, right?

Luiza Gega: I have actually been going and training in Kenya for 7 years at least in the winter period.

Blendi Fevziu: Why did you choose Kenya?

Luiza Gega: From warm, because it is important to be warm, since you are further away from injuries. The second reason is because of the height. Mainly distance athletes, such as myself, have been training at altitude for many months, since there is a lack of oxygen, biological parameters increase, such as red blood cells, hemoglobin, etc. When you then go down to the places to compete, you have a greater freshness. All elite athletes in the world do this.

Blendi Fevziu: How many months does he stay in Kenya?

Luiza Gega: You must stay at least three weeks. I try to stay longer.
