The Olympics was always my be-all and end-all, so when I won, it was the best feeling in the world. But I didn’t realise how much it would affect me mentally. All that pressure. I was only 19; I still didn’t know everything about taekwondo, I wasn’t experienced. I just did amazing on that day and won.
