I think the accident with Pierre was down to a miscommunication, the team asked us to swap positions because we were on completely different strategies, so I was going to let him by on the exit of turn 14 like I did at the start of the race.

I apologize to Brendon for the contact we had, the team told me that they were going to switch our positions so I went on the inside of the back straight thinking he would give me space, unfortunately I don't think he saw me and once I was inside there was nothing I could do.

If anyone finds me on a doubles court again, shoot me. The emotions have been ridiculous this week, it's an incredibly intense game, it's a brain ache. I'm so pleased to win bronze and it's a huge accomplishment for Declan and I.

It's pretty satisfying. We watched the women go into overtime and their win at the end really inspired us to get the double, not many guys in this team would know the feeling of a gold medal. I got one in Delhi( 2010 Commonwealth Games) and was part of the team that lost in Glasgow( 2014), so to get this win is amazing.

We don't really want to be integrated, we're Paralympians and they're Olympians, we have a disability, we are different but we are athletes. I think the Paralympics represents that. We just need to boost the profile of the Paralympics and get that showcased around the world a bit more.

Athletes run in snow, they run in 30 odd degree heat so we don't think that's an issue, unfortunately, these incredible athletes sometimes run themselves to exhaustion and there's rarely a marathon where somebody doesn't collapse.
