00:00It's been a quite a serious learning curve, and at each Olympics I've been at a different point on that curve,
00:07and so each experience has been very, very different.
00:11Beijing, I learned a lot about who I was, you know, falling off of the eighth fence in front of everybody,
00:19you know, taught me about how much I wanted this.
00:23Rio gave me the confidence that I deserve to be here.
00:28Tokyo was quite difficult in some ways because I really missed having the atmosphere of the crowds there.
00:39So how did you feel when you were notified that you would participate in the Paris 2024?
00:45It was announced officially pretty recently, it was at the end of June, wasn't it?
00:50Very, very happy, very, very excited, relieved to some degree.
00:54The Olympic Games is a dream for me.
00:58It's something that since Beijing 2008, since I got that taste of it when I was 18 years old,
01:05I've always wanted more.
01:08Each time you get that opportunity, it's very, very special.
