Jamie Staff: “France won the World Championships in 2006, 2007 and 2008. They were half a second up on us in March we really didn’t have any answers, so this has really got to hurt them. We knew we had more to come and we didn’t ever give up hope. It hasn’t sunk in yet. This means the world to me." "I have had a solid last three years and this last year gave absolutely everything I could and it has paid off. The first round I was pretty happy with the time and then in the second round, Jason got caught up a little bit and I waited for a split second to let him get on because I know they have been panicking all week about getting on and in the final I was like ‘you’re on your own boys -- I’m going! I was very happy with the times. I wanted to get excited when I knew we had won a gold or silver, but we had to try to keep emotions out of it, because there was still a job to do."
“Four years of work flashed in front of my face when Chris crossed the finish line, and it was all worth it," he added.
