On winnign gold, Andrea said: “I don’t have many words in English but I’m very happy. It’s amazing, especially for it to be on home soil, a home Games.

“It’s the first time I’ve actually had a crowd because I didn’t have one at Tokyo and the other internationals I’ve done, I didn’t have a big crowd.

“But it’s been incredible, I’ve had so much fun. I wasn’t really scared, I was so peaceful so I’m just really happy with how it went.”

Andrea's victory came during her first Commonwealth Games, following being part of Team GB at the summer Olympics in Toyko last year.

Speaking about sharing the moment with her family, she added: " I’ve spoken to my mum, my dad and my brother. I gave Perry (the bull) to my brother because it’s the most I can do to say thank you.

“They said ‘Well done’, I saw tears in their eyes, I didn’t really want to look at them in the eye just in case I cried. It’s really nice to have them here.”
