Richards said:

“I’ve been training for weeks for this. Getting my mental preparation right has been just as important as honing my physical co-ordination and reactions. Lucozade Alert Plus has given me the energy boost I’ve needed to increase my focus, concentration and overall mental performance. I’m so happy to have broken the record - one that I hope will stand for some time to come!”

Slipping in a bit of advertising. What a sell-out… Oh! And congratulations.
