It's just been such a good time and I've enjoyed it every second."[13] She continues to say "I wanted that gold medal in my race; I knew I had to go my best and it’s just such an amazing thing to have around me."[14] Tiffany was officially awarded an Order of Australia medal in January 2017 for her "service to sport" following her accomplishments in Rio de Janeiro the previous year.[15]
