Yet, as she reveals to the Guardian for the first time, she believes it was a lack of motivation and fitness that was her real undoing.

“Coming back from the achilles rupture in just eight months really drained the life out of me and the love of sport,” she explains. “And then last year, I felt like I was asleep the whole year. I didn’t take winter training seriously, in all honesty. I had another operation [on a calf muscle torn at the Tokyo Olympics] after my holidays in September 2021 and then took more time off. So I can see what that must look like to other people. It was like: ‘Oh, it’s done.’ But I am in a better place now.”

“When I was young, anything was possible,” she adds, warming to her theme. “I’d just wake up and train and try to get the best out of myself. But after you win, the motivation is probably lacking. But right now, though, I want to prove that I can return to where I used to be. That’s my motivation.“
