"It's not sunk in yet – I've dreamt of getting a medal since I was a kid and I couldn't ask for a better stage than this.

“I'm over the moon and lost for words. I'm just trying to keep my head together.

"The crowd have been absolutely amazing. When you're in a match, you try and keep focused but at the same time, it's great to have the crowd behind you.

"The rest of the team have been fantastic. We've got some great players – Gemma Gibbons had an absolutely amazing game yesterday for her first Olympic Games experience.

“She was a complete underdog and it made me so emotional. I was definitely inspired, but also a little nervous."

The stunt was suggested to the teenager, who told the BBC: “I decided to see what I'd have to do, thought about it and decided to do it.

“It was amazing to look out and see the whole of London.”

Amelia, who has tickets for the athletics and diving events, added: “The height was quite scary but you know you're safe so it's not too bad.

“It was a once in a lifetime experience, especially as the Olympics are in London. It makes it more special.”
