00:00Yeah, I just think it's such an honour to race alongside someone like Katie.

00:04I was 11 years old when she won her gold in London and I was in grade 6 in primary school.

00:11And so that's just remarkable to me to think that she's still winning at this level

00:15and I just have the most incredible respect for her.

00:18I know how hard it is to defend a title and to go four in a row is unreal and I gave it my best shot.

00:24I'm really proud of my effort tonight

00:27and I'm happy that she was the one to beat me to keep her streak alive because that's just remarkable.
