Have to say after her last race she looked so relieved. The pressure she was under seems to have been unreal.

Saw a documentary about her recently on TV and she struck me as a very vulnerable/sensitive personality - not at all what you'd expect from a world class athlete!
Hopefully she will be able to adapt to life outside the "bubble"!
