Hometown: Nottingham
On her second medal:
“Pretty incredible, I was a bit concerned about this one. To retain my title feels incredible.”
On winning gold last night and racing again this morning:
“It was such a late night and early start and not long to rest in between. It was really hard for all of us who swam last night to keep the energy up.”
On the crowd:
“This crowd is incredible and because I’m the first event tonight there are way more people here than there were yesterday. Seeing the crowd gave me that big push.”
On whether she dreamt about two golds at Paris 2024:
“No, definitely not and I’m just so grateful for the team for help me get here and also everyone who plays the National Lottery because if it wasn’t for them, none of us would be here. I’m really grateful to everyone who has helped us get here.”
On what she has learned about herself in the last 24 hours:
“It has made me realise I need to stop questioning myself and my abilities.”
