Kirsty Balfour Quotations

To get a medal in a world record race is just fantastic.

Once we're into the final it's anybody's chance to do what they can. As long as I've done my best, I'll be pleased with that.

I knew it was going to be a scrap for third place. It's unbelievable. I'm so happy to be here with such a successful Scottish team. To get two medals is quite incredible. I couldn't see her, but I could the crowd. I was using the noise for me, to go a bit faster.

I knew I was ready for it, and I wasn't really put off going in the lane next to the world record holder. I tried to stick with her for as long as I could, but I'm very happy with silver.
