I knew I was ready for it, and I wasn't really put off going in the lane next to the world record holder. I tried to stick with her for as long as I could, but I'm very happy with silver.

I knew it was going to be a scrap for third place. It's unbelievable. I'm so happy to be here with such a successful Scottish team. To get two medals is quite incredible. I couldn't see her, but I could the crowd. I was using the noise for me, to go a bit faster.
