[It is] another podium, another medal so that is definitely a positive but I did think I was going to come through on the inside. The line just came quicker than I thought it would.'I gave it my all, like I always do. I don't think I put a foot wrong. Another silver - it's not bronze, it's not gold - we're still on the podium.'I do love it. I was really looking forward to today. I was really up for it.
