McDonald's superstition for Paralympic double gold medallist

Report by Sophie Foster

Natasha Baker says she ate fast food in the run up to her double London 2012 Paralympics dressage gold.

"I'm very superstitious. The Opening Ceremony night, me and my teammates went out to get a McDonald's," she revealed.

"I was competing the following morning. And I had a really big win the first day so I was like, right I have to have a McDonald's now, the night before I ride. And it's worked!" said the paralympian.

Reacting to her win, Baker added: "It's amazing, I really really can't believe it. I came here hoping that I would get one medal of any colour and to come home with these babies is amazing."
