[Music] it was a painful race i wasn't comfortable the wind was super strong the water was rough and i had to give it everything and i just kept on thinking about what my coach jason baker said to me just focus on yourself you've done the work you know what to do and you know when to push pory and leia number four i could hear the spanish rower starting to brief pretty hard and the brazilian was starting to breathe up pretty heavy so i knew it was sort of time to push and i just did what he said and it paid off australia eric horry has done a fantastic job for another silver medal i spoke to the family as quick as possible the medal's more theirs than it is mine so it was a certainly tearful conversation we were hoping on gold but yeah come away with silver i'm over the moon at least the kids have all got one medal each now happy birthday a silver for eric horry we really get out there and give it 100 it's not handed to us we wear our uniform proud racing under the green and gold is the most important thing i think to every single athlete here in the village eric corey with so much to be proud of
