"It’s incredible! It was such a great course, great race, and I’m just so pleased to walk away with [an Olympic] medal.

"It hasn’t sunk in yet to be honest!"

On the crowd and racing in Paris:

"It was crazy on the run because I couldn’t hear anything because the crowd was so loud! They were cheering for everyone, of course I heard more French cheers, but that just made me go harder to make sure I was also on that podium!"
