| Who
is your biggest fan? |
| Without
doubt it's my parents - Dad can't even watch it on telly, so
he'd probably drop dead with a heart attack if he was there.
So it's probably better for his heath and my shooting if they
aren't there! |
| |
| What
was it like winning gold in Sydney? |
| Amazing,
it was just so much pressure off my shoulders. Doing it once
was anyone's dream, to do it again would be an absolute dream
come true again really. If you're still competing, you still
really want to win. For me, to go with the attitude that I'm
just going to go and enjoy it would be wrong becasue I wouldn't
put in 110% like I did last time. |
| |
| Who
is your inspiration? |
| Probably
my coach, Ian Coley. He's been there for the last 12 years,
he's been Olympic team manager - this'll be his fourth Olympics
- so he's got a wealth of experience and he's a great guy. |
| |
| What
is your message home? |
| Just
thanks for all your help and I couldn't do it without you -
I'll do my best to repeat last time's performance for you. |
