#memoriesofgold - No.98 "I knew what I had come to Delhi to do, win Gold. Before I knew it, I was pulling on the black skinsuit and putting on the darth vadar like helmet ready to do battle... The countdown beeped down to the start gun and I felt ready. My vision started to tunnel in as the effort and pain of the last 2 laps became a reality and I had to focus all my energy on the black finish line. As I crossed the line and looked up to see No.1 next to my name on the scoreboard an immense feeling of relief washed over me, and following that the elation of achieving what we had come to Delhi to do. Standing on that top step of the podium, watching the New Zealand flag raised and lifting my arms above my head was an amazingly proud moment." Alison Shanks on Winning the 3000m Individual Pursuit Gold in Delhi 2010. Read more from Alison Shanks' Memory of Gold: http://www.olympic.org.nz/nzoc/100-memories-of-gold #makingusproud
