"In London I was fifth in the road race and then I got silver in Rio. To win in Tokyo is a dream come true.
“It was a really challenging race. The Swedish were really technically very good and on the downhills we were losing ground to them. If they went ahead of us, we had to use a lot of effort to get it back.”
