00:00That's incredible. I mean, the athletes who came before us for Team GB winning medals in previous games,
00:06you know, that's always just been inspiring and, you know, they've trailblazed them for us to, like, carry on that
00:12legacy.
00:13And, you know, winning medals isn't just, like, for us, it's for the nation, for everyone who's supported us,
00:19for everyone who's played the national lottery, who's enabled us to be able to be full-time athletes and do
00:25our sport day in, day out.
00:26And then for anyone watching at home who's been inspired by it, who wants to sign up to try and
00:31do skeleton or do any type of sport,
00:33like, that's going to live on. And for me, that just feels so special. I'm so grateful that I get
00:39to be a part of that history.
00:41Well, I think winning a gold medal is always amazingly special. The fact that I've managed to get two now
00:46is unbelievable.
00:48And I'm so, so proud of what me and the team have managed to achieve. We definitely did go out
00:54and celebrate last night.
00:55We're a bit worse for wear this morning, but we're doing all right. We're doing all right.
00:59Absolutely. I think it's so important in those moments when you've achieved something you've been working so hard for
01:05to try and take stock and to try and enjoy it, because it can be quite overwhelming.
01:11But Matt did a really great job of guiding me through it all, the media and everything.
01:15And then, yeah, last night getting to have a moment with our teammates, our coaches, our family, our friends and
01:20celebrate.
01:21It's historic.
01:22Yeah, it's massive. I think that, like, the momentum that we've kind of carried over the last few days, like
01:28winning the medals that we have,
01:29it feels, like, insane to be a part of that history. And I'm hoping that we can keep that momentum
01:36going for the rest of the games.
