She said: "It is an insane amount of pressure.

"You’ve just got to use that pressure and that energy to help you perform at your best.

"I had to drown out some of the noise in the stadium as much as I possibly could because there are lots of thoughts that creep into your mind when you are out there performing.

"There can also be such a benefit when you are the home athlete because you get such a boost."
