I have to say that Sally McLellan’s fantastic silver medal performance at the Bird’s Nest is my favourite winning moment of the olympics so far!!

I saw the race live and just loved how she ran her heart out and then looked over as she crossed the line to realise that she was in with a medal chance.

Not only was Sally the first Australian woman to make the hurdles finals since the 84 olympics but she managed to pick up a well deserved silver medal in a respectable time of 12.64s.

She said she knew she had clinched second place as soon as she crossed the line.

“I knew I got silver, I couldn’t believe how long it took to get on the scoreboard,” she said.

“I’ve just had the most amazing and incredible year ever and to top it off with a silver medal at the Olympic Games as a 21-year-old …”

To top off her fantastic performance, I just loved her reaction when talking to Channel 7…

LOVE YOUR WORK!!! : )
