The Olympic Stadium, 2007 and 2012.

Sometimes you have to be patient to get the shot you want.

It’s been a rollercoaster of emotions over the last few weeks but I’ve got an Olympic medal to show for it so I couldn’t ask for anything more. Literally I’m so happy, I wish my dad was here to see my medal performance. Its been the toughest year of my life. I gave it my best shot, gave it absolutely everything. My main aim was get a medal, and I’m absolutely chuffed with it! Time to celebrate!. :D
