00:00I can't believe it. I'm so, so happy.
00:03To win in the 10k was a dream and then I knew I had to recocus and yeah, to win
00:09in the 5k is just crazy.
00:11Yeah.
00:12When did you feel that you might have got that medal?
00:16When I crossed the line.
00:18Yeah, like, I mean, having Jess on your shoulder with 100 metres to go is scary and yeah, I was
00:25just,
00:25I honestly just blacked out and was running as hard as I could.
00:28And yeah, when I crossed the line, I was just so, so sad.
00:33What did you like to be down to?
00:36Just years of hard work.
00:37Yeah, I've always, I've always been there and about and yeah, I've been running like fast times,
00:43but it's the first time I've, you know, probably have won a big race.
00:46So yeah.
00:47No one's ever done this at Commonwealth level.
00:49I can't believe that.
00:50Yeah.
00:50What does that mean to you?
00:52It means the world to me.
00:53Um, yeah, I mean, as a little girl, like you watch the Commonwealth Games and you see your idols on
00:58the screen
00:58and you want, you want that to be you.
01:00And yeah, I just can't believe that I've achieved that.
01:03Yeah.
01:04What is it?
01:04Yeah, with 150 to go, realising we were going to go 1-2 was pretty incredible.
01:08I think that, I don't know, too many people that would have done Australia once with 5,000
01:12for months and for years and for us to do it, it's very special.
01:16What's it mean to be part of such a historic team?
01:19Oh, it's huge.
01:20I think when you put in perspective in what Rose has done this week, which is making 5K
01:23and then to run alongside us down the street, having things that have, like, over the last
01:27week has actually thrown up as an athlete as well.
01:30It's like, it's a bit of pride out there, but the thing she was is going 1-2, but it
01:33was
01:33just for what Rose is doing now to do.
01:35At the top of that straight, you knew that you two were going to do that, but what did you
01:40think about going as well?
01:41I was already sort of thinking, I was like, I wish this was only a mile.
01:46Kicking at the end of the 5, there's a different beast and I think my tactics were quite raw
01:51out there.
01:51I think a few times I found myself not really quite knowing what to do, which doesn't happen
01:56in the 15, but in the 5, there's a little bit of foreign territory, so I think I might
02:00have played some cards very early in that first 2-3K when I was in positions and I realised
02:06at the top of that trade, I was like, oh, I might be one card short for what Rose is
02:10going
02:10to throw at me.
02:12I'm going to throw at me.
02:12I'm going to throw at me.
02:15I'm going to throw at me.
02:16I'm going to throw at me.
02:16I'm going to throw at me.
