From the papers
The Independent (John Oakley)
3 August 1998
It's a great feeling to win in front of your own people. The first time was great. But perhaps the second time is greater.
The Independent (John Oakley)
3 August 1998
They not only want you to win but they expect you to win so the pressure is really on you. Now I just feel very tired.
The Independent (John Oakley)
3 August 1998
Two seconds running and a third in all this year is not good. I'm not happy at being second, I'm disappointed.
