Despite coming out tops, the 23-year-old Business Law master student wasn\u2019t entirely satisfied with the day\u2019s results.<\/p>\n<p> This was mainly due to his jumping 10 cm lower than his personal record. \u201cI injured my back two months back. Apparently, this affected my  performance more than I had expected,\u201d the Delft native tells Erasmus  Magazine. \u201cI only cleared 2.12 metres \u2013 hardly the result I had showed  up for that day. Things went really well during the trainings, but a  competition clearly requires a different kind of preparation.\u201d<\/p>\n<p> Amels\u2019s personal indoor record stands at 2.22 metres \u2013 a result he was hoping  to improve on Saturday. \u201cFortunately, it was clear pretty early on that I would win the title.\u201d While Dion van Kessels\u2019 result came close (2.09  metres), the runner-up required so many more attempts than Amels to  clear this bar that the day\u2019s outcome was clear from an early stage.<\/p>\n<p> Since 2011, Amels has been chalking up both indoor and outdoor national  high-jump championships. The only year Douwe missed out on the Dutch  indoor title was 2013, when he came second. In the upcoming outdoor  season, Amels hopes to place for the Olympics. To do so, he will  probably have to clear 2.30 metres \u2013 2 centimetres higher than his  personal outdoor record.
