Kelly commented,

[On being at the GC] “It feels amazing, and it’s like ‘pinch me’, I’m actually here! I had a bit of a fight for my position here between the other 48kg girls and then I got picked. It is a little bit scary. 

[On preparation] “Just literally going through coaching points in my head and going over what my coaches have said to me while you’re in training. Just keep composed, breathe and do what you do in the gym every day and keep running through those coaching points and I suppose that’s the best you can do.”
