This medal goes to show that you don't always have to have the best facilities, the best organisation, the best of everything to achieve.

Your barber always knows everything that goes on in the town, doesn't he?

Biceps for show, triceps for go.

The roar of the crowd when you come out for a final is like nothing else: when 15,000 people are cheering you, a lot of adrenaline goes right through you.

To win Olympic gold has been a dream for me for seven or eight years now, so it was amazing to actually achieve that.

Training is my drug. I'm going to be the best I can in and out of the water - train right, eat right - and that is the way it should be.
