Yarnold literally jumped with delight when I told her that her team-mate was also in medal contention (0.07 seconds behind) last night after the second run, but when I asked about their relationship it was quite an interesting response.
“It’s not a friendly rivalry, when we’re on the track we are trying to beat each other like any other athlete,” she told me.
“We are really good friends and will go back and have a cup of tea and chat about the race - so I’m really lucky to have a friend like her but I know on the track it’s all business.”
