Amelie Morgan was part of the Team GB quartet which made history yesterday, winning the first medal in the women's team event in 93 years.
The bronze medalist spoke to BBC Radio 5 Live's Rachel Burden and Mark Chapman this morning - and her mum Kate came on air too.
Kate said she didn't have "huge expectations" for her daughter and teammates.
"They're such a young team. I just wanted her to go out and enjoy it...I was slightly incredulous when I realised they could actually do it."
Amelie said her mum had helped her though her whole journey.
"She's been with me for every single step - the good and the bad. Huge hats off to my mum!"
