Libby Lenton Quotations

We're absolutely delighted. I just put my head down and the girls did a great job earlier.

Obviously, I had the problem of thinking about the outcome again, so I didn't focus on the process.

Obviously I can't win seven gold now, it's impossible, so it's a bit of pressure off.

I would have liked to have spent a little bit more time in bed this morning. I'm a little bit sore. The 200 (relay) probably hurt substantially more than I ever thought it could. I am definitely going to have a massage now.

I am just so happy that it is all over, it is such a relief to be finished racing.

To even consider winning seven gold medals wouldn't be a smart thing to do. To think about a potential seven gold medals is just ridiculous.

Our training for Melbourne depends so much on the documents and the training log books, so please return it.

That was awesome. It was always going to going to be tough. I'm over the moon.

That was just awesome, I'm over the moon.

I've broken world records before and it's still exciting and amazing but I'm more down to earth about it now.

That's insane. I never really thought I was ever capable of that sort of thing.

Third into the final, I'm happy with that. The plan was obviously not to max out in the morning, just get back into the rhythm of racing.

It's been such a special week for me but I wouldn't have got three of those gold medals if it weren't for the girls I get to swim with in the relays.

It's kind of embarrassing - Alice told me before the race that I was the oldest in the race.

It's a relief to get it over and done with, especially in such style.

It's a pretty tough program. You don't know how you will handle it until you do it. Other than that, I'm really happy with how I did tonight. Tonight was all about making the final, I'm sure all the Australian girls were the same.

It should be some real good racing tonight. Alice and Jodie are both swimming better than they were at trials and I feel better than I was at trials at the same time, there will be some very good racing tonight and tomorrow night.

It's my first individual medal in the event so I'm just so excited.

It's so important for all of us that they give the bag back.

It's so exciting to win, it's something that I've been working towards for quite a few years now, coming second to Jodie quite often, so to get a national championship in that event is very exciting for me.

It's been very hard to sustain my intensity but that was a good time in a good field so to win was great.

It was probably one of the scariest finals that I ever had to swim in because I've had my toughest competition here. I've really struggled in the past racing Jodie and Alice. That's the one thing I wanted to change in this race.

I never say anything is impossible. But I am just focusing on reaffirming what I did at the Commonwealth Games. I am here to learn from all of my races and see what I can do after such a big program at the Commonwealth Games. I haven't had a chance to come down from my achievements.

I probably came into this a bit more nervous than I thought I would. I put a lot of pressure on myself to do something a bit special. But I'm happy to be on the team for the Commonwealth Games now.

If I'm put in that position, I'll be happy. But I've had some experience with having great results and then having to back it up the next day, and not doing so well as I would have liked.
