just like these guys. See ya.

Hey, everyone, Leah here with Monday's Newsround.

:00:12.:00:15.

She surprised this marathon runner when she randomly started running

:00:16.:00:20.

with him during one of the world's most difficult races and they became

:00:21.:00:23.

But there was a little twist to this tail.

:00:24.:00:28.

You could say it was love at first stride.

:00:29.:00:36.

When Dion Leonard went to China

:00:37.:00:39.

to run a gruelling 150-mile marathon, little did he know

:00:40.:00:42.

We spent the whole week together and literally either by the side

:00:43.:00:49.

running or in the evening she was in my arms

:00:50.:00:52.

during the night, sleeping and eating with me.

:00:53.:00:54.

But there was a little twist in the tail.

:00:55.:00:56.

Dion wanted to bring Gobi the dog back home

:00:57.:00:59.

with him to Scotland but first it had to go into Chinese

:01:00.:01:02.

quarantine to make sure it was healthy enough to travel.

:01:03.:01:07.

As Dion loved Gobi so much, he went off to find her.

:01:08.:01:13.

First stop, where she was last seen - a busy city with lots of

:01:14.:01:17.

I've been out handing these since 6am and actually looking

:01:18.:01:24.

for the dogs and speaking to locals who actually think they have

:01:25.:01:29.

seen Gobi but unfortunately it isn't Gobi.

:01:30.:01:33.

But then it went viral on social media and before long Dion had some

:01:34.:01:36.

This lovely father and son had found her and we went out

:01:37.:01:42.

She ran across the land and basically ran straight into my arms.

:01:43.:01:46.

She was so excited to see me and I had just

:01:47.:01:49.

walked in the door, I hadn't said a word to her,

:01:50.:01:52.

So Gobi is now finally getting ready to move to Scotland.

:01:53.:01:58.

I think the first demand Dion will be teaching her...stay!

:01:59.:02:09.

Now, although the Olympics finished over a week ago that doesn't bother

:02:10.:02:12.

us here at Newsround because we've been keeping in touch

:02:13.:02:14.

with all our Rio stars and letting YOU ask them YOUR questions.

:02:15.:02:17.

This morning we're joined by rowing silver medallists

:02:18.:02:19.

loss of our viewers have been e-mailing question ten. Let us dive

:02:20.:02:31.

straight in because they have the best questions. Fatima asked, how

:02:32.:02:40.

did it feel when you past the finish line? Can you remember it.

:02:41.:02:46.

Can you? It is a bit of a blogger. I cannot

:02:47.:02:55.

remember it that well. Parts of it I can but at crossing the finish line

:02:56.:02:58.

it is a lot of pain. Does it all flood in what is

:02:59.:03:03.

happening? There wasn't an expectation that we

:03:04.:03:07.

would get a medal of any colour so when you cross a line and know

:03:08.:03:10.

you're going to get one of these things, although there is pain there

:03:11.:03:19.

you think, we have done it. What are your favourite and least

:03:20.:03:25.

favourite things about rowing? My favourite is just being able to

:03:26.:03:29.

do the sport that I love every day. Least favourite is the early morning

:03:30.:03:34.

in the winter. The dedication.

:03:35.:03:40.

Yes, you have to get up and do an early morning so that is the hard

:03:41.:03:43.

bit when it's cold and frosty outside. When you are with your

:03:44.:03:50.

friends though it is enjoyable. Catherine, you have one in five

:03:51.:03:58.

Olympic Games. What is your favourite Olympics so far?

:03:59.:04:05.

It is really hard because they are all very different. They are every

:04:06.:04:09.

four years and in a different city and a different country so the

:04:10.:04:15.

experience of travelling to those places is incredible. My first one

:04:16.:04:20.

was in Sydney Australia and I didn't know it as a country. Australians

:04:21.:04:25.

love their sport of the reaction was incredible. My second was Athens and

:04:26.:04:32.

that is where the ancient Olympics began so it felt like her study.

:04:33.:04:41.

Then there was Beijing in China and was a country trying to put on the

:04:42.:04:45.

biggest thing ever. And in the last one before Rio was London and that

:04:46.:04:51.

was all our home so it felt like we had the home support so that was

:04:52.:04:55.

special. And Rio was just a carnival. I had never been to South

:04:56.:04:58.

America. I loved them all. We are so proud of

:04:59.:05:04.

you. What are you going to do with your medals?

:05:05.:05:11.

I have put them down a couple of times. It is very heavy on your

:05:12.:05:20.

neck. I keep it in the box that it came in and I look after it and make

:05:21.:05:25.

sure it is safe. I want to look after them as much as I can.

:05:26.:05:27.
