Looking forward to getting on with it. We are ready to race and have prepared extremely well. I have a positive sense of expectation and know that we will do very well.
Apart from the ultimate of winning a gold medal what do you hope to achieve from your experience?
I want to enjoy this Olympic Games. I certainly want a Gold medal and to execute a perfect race when it counts.

This is my fourth games and very different from the others. I am very relaxed about this Olympics. I have a positive expectation and do not feel the same pressure as 96 and 2000.
