I have really earned my stripes, this has been such a long time coming and I feel I’m the man.

It feels 10 times better than I thought it was going to be.

I’m in the premium position with just a few boys breathing down my neck. I should have been a boxer after the shot put, I’m just so full of adrenaline.

I’d cut an arm off to win that gold medal. The pole vault would be difficult but that’s a rubbish event for me anyway!
