I'm more experienced and more confident this time around. I've never prepared for any event like I've prepared for this one. I have to manage the nerves and the expectation and stay relaxed.

When we go home we can spend a bit of quality time together but from the point of view of the skeleton, we're professional about what we do. Sometimes we might not speak for a whole day, even though we're both at the track, because we are so into what we are doing.

I knew a mistake on that turn costs you three-hundredths of a second. That's what cost me a medal.

People look at skeleton and think it's just a bit of a laugh, going down the ice on a tea tray. But it's not. It's a technical sport, and you need athleticism.

I'm really proud of our performances this week as a nation that doesn't even have its own track. But I'm gutted not to have got the medal and I'm getting more and more gutted the more I think about it.

You just want it to happen naturally without really thinking about it. As soon as you starting thinking at 90 miles per hour, you start making mistakes. The idea is to get the right line ingrained.
