“To win an event on the last day of the Paralympics is like nothing else I have experienced. To switch your phone back on,see all the messages from back home ... and see the impact you had from those 42 kilometres was enormous. We had eyes on screens like never before.
“Knowing we have fans back in the stands in Paris and knowing there will be a lot of Europeans ... the impact that is going to have is going to be amazing. Full stands have an enormous impact. That’s where the real power is.”
