Laura Trott: after the Queen, parades and photo shoots, it's back to the day job after life as a celebrity Olympian My sister quite likes it, though, because she lives in Holland and people confuse her for me. Recently, people were tooting her as she went down the road on her bike. My Twitter account has gone berserk. I only had 10,000 followers when I left for London and now I have over 130,000. On the Thursday I won gold in the omnium, my phone went into meltdown, I just thought, "I'll deal with that afterwards, I want to enjoy myself at the minute." It was just text after text. But I couldn't sleep that night, thinking, "What has happened to me?" So I sat up and read them, and it was touching that people were so appreciative. What I liked about the Olympic bubble is that you were protected: nobody could come and bombard you for pictures. And everyone was walking around with medals, so it was not as though I was so different. It is sad to come out of it, but I feel almost relieved - not that it is finished, because I really did enjoy it, but just that the pressure has gone. I no longer feel like the nation's weight is on my shoulders. The atmosphere in the Olympic Velodrome was incredibly intense, but most of the time I kept my headphones on. That is me: I would wave at my mum and dad when they came into the arena, and then just go through the process, making sure that my warm-up was right and that I got off the rollers on time. Bruce Springsteen's No Surrender was the song I chose for when I was putting my shoes on - and the song that my family and friends played for later, at my street party back home. There is such a bubbly sensation I draw from the song. Plus, my dad is a massive Springsteen fan, so it had a real relevance. I have been to six Springsteen concerts - I went to my first when I was only 11. It is pretty mad, considering I am only 20. I know I am a relaxed personality off the track, but maybe I need to be angrier on it. I think that is why I struggle at the group races sometimes, because I am not a bully. I ride around and hope for the best, and occasionally that can be a downside. If I was more aggressive, more "Get stuck in there!," then I would be even better. If you look at my Dutch rival in the omnium, Kirsten Fields, she can really push you around and I will be thinking, "Back off! Don't ruin my race. But at least they know how I ride the elimination race now: I sit at the back, then I come around the field. When I was chasing my second gold in the omnium, I knew that I was not willing to settle for silver. I had lost the scratch race, so everybody else had written me off, but I would not go down without a fight. Everybody in the Velodrome was chanting "Laura, Laura!" before the 500 metres, my best event, and it set my adrenalin going. I won, and then I saw my overall position on my board and I could not stop screaming. My mum was crying, my dad was crying. Even Bradley Wiggins, my hero, sent his congratulations. He still has the picture taken of the two of us, when I was only 12, on his phone. And then I suddenly realised, "I have just achieved everything I ever wanted to. I have won two gold medals at my home Olympics. How am I ever going to match that?
