0:00
Right now, morning, Georgia
0:03
Morning, everyone. How are you doing? Really good. It's really great to see you. So when did you get back
0:08
I got back, I think, two days ago. Time is a bit of a fluid concept right now
0:14
Big jet lag, straight from the track. So, yeah, it's been a bit crazy
0:19
Well, listen, many, many congratulations. You probably know that I'd said even before the World Athletic Championship
0:25
you were the one that we wanted on the show because we've had you on before and we were really behind you throughout the whole thing
0:32
How was the race for you? Were you very excited? Were you happy with the silver
0:36
Were you disappointed that you didn't get to the gold and also beaten your friend Keely as well
0:41
Yeah, the race was pretty crazy. It was extremely fast from the gun
0:46
but I felt really good in the race. And, yeah, there was a moment in the home straight where I thought, I'm going to win this
0:52
And then the Kenyan athlete, Lillian Odera, came through just at the end
0:56
But for me and Keely to both get on the podium together It's the first time that's happened in 18 years
1:01
So to have two British women in the same event kind of representing Great Britain out there is really, really special
1:06
It is fantastic. But the fact that you train together and you're great friends as well
1:11
is there any part of you between you because one has got one and one's got the other
1:15
Or are you genuinely happy? I mean, between us, obviously, that you are genuinely happy for each other for what you've done and what you managed to do
1:23
Yeah, exactly. I mean, obviously, every athlete, when they stand on the start line, they want to win
1:27
We're both competitors, so obviously we're trying to do our best every time we line up
1:32
But Keely's been through so many injuries in the past year. The fact that she made another podium and has run such a fast time is incredible
1:41
And yeah we just so happy to do it for our coaches and for our team I like to know about the call room Now this is something that doesn get mentioned very often but lots of athletes that I spoken to over the years this is the room that you would go into
1:55
before you walk out onto the track. Now, what happens in there
1:59
Is it silent? Do you chat? Are you sort of like looking at each other like this
2:04
trying to bog each other out? How does it work and what was it like for the final? Yeah, tensions are high
2:10
You basically get funneled into a small room before you get taken out into the stadium
2:14
And so everyone is feeling nervous, is feeling excited. You're very much in silence
2:21
There's not a lot of chatting going on. And then you go out to 60,000 fans in the stadium
2:25
and everyone knows, you know, it's about to be a really good race. What's the greatest part
2:30
Is it the finishing the race? Is it before or is it during the race
2:35
And also during the race, are you aware of everything that's going on around you? You kind of are, but your senses are so heightened
2:42
It's so loud. You've got so much adrenaline. And the race is over in, you know, less than two minutes
2:48
I think the best part of it is, yeah, that feeling when you cross the line and you know you've got a medal and you look up at the screen
2:54
and you see the time that you've run. And then you get to go round in the stadium
2:59
see my husband, see my family, see my coaches, and share that moment together
3:04
There's just nothing like that feeling. Do you always know where to find a union, Jack
3:07
I always think, you know, when there's the grabbing of the flag and there always seemed to be there ready, there's always one there
3:15
Yeah, someone just throws it at you. I don't know how. I'd like that job
3:21
Yeah, they must have a couple of flags depending on who's going to win
3:25
and, yeah, someone will just throw it at you, which is handy. Where's the medal now? You got it with you
3:30
Yeah, I've got it here. Let's see. There it is. That's enormous
3:35
That's a great medal. Wow
