    Script:

    SOUNDBITE: (English) Charlie Maddock, Team GB:

    "It's just…I don't know. Amazing I think. I can't describe it. But no, it hasn't sunk in yet."

    "Going in the lead in the first round I felt confident from that but then as I went into the second and third round with the points - she went ahead. I just thought 'right, keep focused. Get the points back a point at a time. No rushing. Then it obviously went to golden point so I just felt the opportunity and just to go for it."

    "Yeah, the preparation from the start of the World Championship throughout I just thought of my targets and kept on. All mistakes I learnt from in the World Championships I had to put right in the weeks before Baku and obviously I have come out on top."

    "The door is very small for me to go to Rio but it can be doable. So I am going to take every opportunity that I can to get to that point. Then, if not - the Tokyo."
