Planning to watch the games from the crowd, Cheetham’s stellar form thrust her onto the mat and in global spotlight.

“I wouldn’t say I felt pressure, but I was definitely nervous. There were so many people watching and I wanted to perform well, not just for myself but for Team Scotland as well. I’m glad I was able to produce a decent performance.”
