– My coaching team, the 3 of you executed the game plan perfectly. I couldn’t have asked for a better team. 
– Thank-you so much to all the volunteers for all your help not only in competition but throughout the past week in training. 
– Thirdly a huge thanks to all the officials. You all ran a fantastic competition. 
– @adeecazayoux from @workingagainstgravity for helping me with making weight. You are such a beautiful soul and I am so grateful for your ongoing support.

Thank-you so so so much for all your cheering, it definitely fired me up to win the GOLD for Australia and Jade. 
times better than I could have ever imagine it would be. “
And it’s over just like that. 
I didn’t get much sleep as I have just been thinking about what an incredible battle I had with the other ladies on the platform.

I would have to say, out of all the amazing Weightlifting experiences I have ever been through last night was by far my highlight, not because of the gold medal but because of so much more! 
–
The performance from ALL the athletes in the 58kg category, the crowd roaring every time I entered the room, my family and friends being there to support me (including Jadey in Spirit) and having the best coaching team in my corner, Shane (Husband & Coach), Miles & Greg (Competition coaches).

To me that is what competition is all about, getting to showcase all the hard work we have put in over the years. Congratulations & THANK-YOU so much ladies, we are all CHAMPIONS in my eyes as that was an incredible performance from each and everyone of us. It was a true honour to have been apart of it.

Representing my country on the world stage is truly an honour and something I have worked so hard for.
