Eight years ago at the New Dehli Commonwealth Games, an 18-year-old rhythmic gymnast Danielle Prince stepped onto the floor to perform in her first major international tournament.
However, winning that gold in Delhi was something truly special.
"To be part of that team was amazing," Prince said.
"As an 18-year-old it is a bit overwhelming and going into my first major event and to come away with a medal was incredible.
"It was only due to the support of my teammates, who helped guide me, it gives me that support," she said.

“Being my third Commonwealth Games and having a little bit more experience, I do want to perform at my best," she said.
"For me personally, we call a perfect routine a mak, so that is a routine without mistakes or any visible drops of the apparatus.
"So to do four makes and perform at my best, not just for myself but for my family, friends and everyone that has been apart of my journey, it is kind of my time to show all of their hard work and my hard work has accumulated too,” Prince said.
However, at this stage, the five-time All Around National Champion is pretty confident it will be her last international competition.
“I’ve had the conversation with quite a few people, you never know how you are going to feel after a major event like the Commonwealth Games or Olympics.
"Funnily enough, I was certain I was going to retire after the Rio Olympics and then it is only once you finish an event and have some time to process how you feel about your performances and where you want to go from there.”
