»I could tell it was quick but I didn't know how special it was. I'm just really thrilled, it's not really sunk in yet. «Initially when we came down, there was a bit of an anxious wait.

I wasn't thinking about it being a winning performance, I was just thinking that it was a good run. »Andrew was shouting and screaming. I said, 'Yeah, maybe a podium'.

It's just that wait. It's such a high — it's almost indescribable."
