I'm extremely happy that I could win the gold medal. It's a special moment in my career.

To finish off this whole Olympics by finally getting the gold medal, it's the best feeling in the world.

To have this gold medal around my neck is just bonkers and still hasn't really sunk in.

The feeling of accomplishment welled up inside of me, three Olympic gold medals. I knew that was something nobody could ever take away from me, ever.

Growing up, watching the Premier League as far back as I can remember, feeling the trophy and having the medal around my neck was an unbelievable feeling.

I thought that when I won the Olympic trials I was going to be the happiest person in the whole world. And I was happy. But it wasn't like I thought it was going to be. I had already imagined it in my head so many times. It was real before it happened.

To anyone who has started out on a long campaign believing that the gold medal was destined for him, the feeling when, all of a sudden, the medal has gone somewhere else is quite indescribable.

I still can't believe I won the Olympics. That's what I feel right now - completely alive as a human being. It's a really beautiful moment.

To be part of something special, to be an Olympian and have the chance to win a medal - it's an amazing feeling.
