But I believed that I could make it, and to make it and grab that gold medal, I'm proud,

I’m so happy that I have won.

Today I’m very happy because I won this year in London...I knew I was strong because I have done good training so I was having a feeling that I could do it.

It's impossible to explain what I felt in that moment, just very, very happy to win this title. For me, it is a dream to play in this tournament. But to win, I never imagined something like this.

The goal was to come out and to win this gold, Honestly, I believe in my abilities, but I was not expecting a world record at these championships.

I can’t believe it! At last, at long last, I have won it.

When I heard I was up for it, obviously I wanted to win. It's really an honour. I love playing for my country.

I am very excited because this is my first appearance in the Commonwealth Games. The time I returned didn’t really matter and all I wanted was to win, which I have been able to achieve. I feel good with the way I ended the season. I am surprised at winning the gold medal but it’s late in the season and anything can happen. I would say it was my best race, my best finish to a season.

I’m excited and grateful to God. I’m super happy that I was able to make the top three. I’ll say I’m not the best athlete but I’m grateful to God for bringing me this far. I can’t contain my joy no matter the colour of the medal.

I find myself often thinking about how the gold medal will be represented to me… my dream finally coming true. I can’t wait to experience that moment and make history as the first African woman to win Olympic gold in wrestling.

I liked the feeling of winning. It made me feel like I mattered. All I’ve ever wanted in my life is to matter.

I am so proud to have won this, not just for me, but for my country.

I can’t believe it, I’m so grateful for the win. I didn’t give up.

It is great to win gold in my first championships race over 10,000 with a personal best...We were inspired by the marathon girls and we wanted to achieve the same.
