:00:16. > :00:20.She surprised this marathon runner when she randomly started running

:00:21. > :00:23.with him during one of the world's most difficult races and they became

:00:24. > :00:28.But there was a little twist to this tail.

:00:29. > :00:36.You could say it was love at first stride.

:00:37. > :00:39.When Dion Leonard went to China

:00:40. > :00:42.to run a gruelling 150-mile marathon, little did he know

:00:43. > :00:49.We spent the whole week together and literally either by the side

:00:50. > :00:52.running or in the evening she was in my arms

:00:53. > :00:54.during the night, sleeping and eating with me.

:00:55. > :00:56.But there was a little twist in the tail.

:00:57. > :00:59.Dion wanted to bring Gobi the dog back home

:01:00. > :01:02.with him to Scotland but first it had to go into Chinese

:01:03. > :01:07.quarantine to make sure it was healthy enough to travel.

:01:08. > :01:13.As Dion loved Gobi so much, he went off to find her.

:01:14. > :01:17.First stop, where she was last seen - a busy city with lots of

:01:18. > :01:24.I've been out handing these since 6am and actually looking

:01:25. > :01:29.for the dogs and speaking to locals who actually think they have

:01:30. > :01:33.seen Gobi but unfortunately it isn't Gobi.

:01:34. > :01:36.But then it went viral on social media and before long Dion had some

:01:37. > :01:42.This lovely father and son had found her and we went out

:01:43. > :01:46.She ran across the land and basically ran straight into my arms.

:01:47. > :01:49.She was so excited to see me and I had just

:01:50. > :01:52.walked in the door, I hadn't said a word to her,

:01:53. > :01:58.So Gobi is now finally getting ready to move to Scotland.

:01:59. > :02:09.I think the first demand Dion will be teaching her...stay!

:02:10. > :02:12.Now, although the Olympics finished over a week ago that doesn't bother

:02:13. > :02:14.us here at Newsround because we've been keeping in touch

:02:15. > :02:17.with all our Rio stars and letting YOU ask them YOUR questions.

:02:18. > :02:19.This morning we're joined by rowing silver medallists

:02:20. > :02:31.loss of our viewers have been e-mailing question ten. Let us dive

:02:32. > :02:40.straight in because they have the best questions. Fatima asked, how

:02:41. > :02:46.did it feel when you past the finish line? Can you remember it.

:02:47. > :02:55.Can you? It is a bit of a blogger. I cannot

:02:56. > :02:58.remember it that well. Parts of it I can but at crossing the finish line

:02:59. > :03:03.it is a lot of pain. Does it all flood in what is

:03:04. > :03:07.happening? There wasn't an expectation that we

:03:08. > :03:10.would get a medal of any colour so when you cross a line and know

:03:11. > :03:19.you're going to get one of these things, although there is pain there

:03:20. > :03:25.you think, we have done it. What are your favourite and least

:03:26. > :03:29.favourite things about rowing? My favourite is just being able to

:03:30. > :03:34.do the sport that I love every day. Least favourite is the early morning

:03:35. > :03:40.in the winter. The dedication.

:03:41. > :03:43.Yes, you have to get up and do an early morning so that is the hard

:03:44. > :03:50.bit when it's cold and frosty outside. When you are with your

:03:51. > :03:58.friends though it is enjoyable. Catherine, you have one in five

:03:59. > :04:05.Olympic Games. What is your favourite Olympics so far?

:04:06. > :04:09.It is really hard because they are all very different. They are every

:04:10. > :04:15.four years and in a different city and a different country so the

:04:16. > :04:20.experience of travelling to those places is incredible. My first one

:04:21. > :04:25.was in Sydney Australia and I didn't know it as a country. Australians

:04:26. > :04:32.love their sport of the reaction was incredible. My second was Athens and

:04:33. > :04:41.that is where the ancient Olympics began so it felt like her study.

:04:42. > :04:45.Then there was Beijing in China and was a country trying to put on the

:04:46. > :04:51.biggest thing ever. And in the last one before Rio was London and that

:04:52. > :04:55.was all our home so it felt like we had the home support so that was

:04:56. > :04:58.special. And Rio was just a carnival. I had never been to South

:04:59. > :05:04.America. I loved them all. We are so proud of

:05:05. > :05:11.you. What are you going to do with your medals?

:05:12. > :05:20.I have put them down a couple of times. It is very heavy on your

:05:21. > :05:25.neck. I keep it in the box that it came in and I look after it and make

:05:26. > :05:27.sure it is safe. I want to look after them as much as I can.
