00:00I think I was just waiting to cross a line, just to make sure.

00:02You know, you can never be too sure,

00:04but, you know, it was absolutely surreal.

00:06I think you have a moment of relief

00:07because there was a lot of expectation going into it

00:09and, you know, I really wanted to live up to that

00:12and really cement myself as one of the world's best

00:14and to finally do that is just, yeah, it's incredible.

00:16To join the likes of Jess and Kelly and Denise

00:19and all those women that have won Olympic gold,

00:21I think there's nine of us in total in the track and field,

00:24which is absolutely crazy.

00:25And I looked at Jess as a big inspiration back then

00:27and I sort of think, how did she do that?

00:36Yeah, the way athletics goes, it's constantly moving forward,

00:38so I'll enjoy this moment and there's still so much to do.

00:43so that's the one that I'm missing.

00:45We've got the world's next year back in Tokyo,

00:46so it'd be great to go back there

00:48and do one better than I did last time.

00:49And there's a whole world record to attempt,

00:51there's so much yet to do, world indoor medals,

00:54and I can't wait to attack it.
