Garth Chamberlain - Born To Win Champion

I honestly thought that Sheldon had won it.

To be the champion is truly awesome, absolutely immense! You have no idea how shocked I am.

I can't believe it, it's really really surreal.

I wasn't looking forward to the Hang Zone at all.

After the first two events I thought: 'there's no way I can do this.'

Straight after Slaunch I was trying to work out what I needed to do but I didn't think there was any way I could win.

It's sad that me and Sheldon tied here. But he is such a top notch lad and he never gives up.

Now I'm going to go out and party.

I promise you, what I would do with the bursary hasn't even gone through my mind.

I never believed it would have gone back to the events in Austria

What do I put the win down to? It's weird because I haven't been concentrating solely on Born To Win.

I have my rugby training and my daily routine and Born To Win was fitted in around it.

The fact that I didn't focus on it too much maybe helped me.

I felt the pressure but it never got to me.
