She then revealed Violet had come 12th out of 100 girls and had achieved her 'best time and best performance.'
'The best I've ever seen her try. Ever. She struggled and wanted to walk but overcame it and kept going,' Rachael said.
'It's never about the placing for us. What we care about is the commitment to their work and effort. What you put in is what you get out. So proud of her. Had to hold back a gazillion tears.'

It comes after Rachael recently hit back at cruel trolls who accused her of 'underfeeding' her children with a 'strict' diet.
She documents the healthy, low-carb meals she prepares for her daughter Violet and son Dominic, five, on Instagram, where she has 318,000 followers.
The TV personality was recently branded an 'almond mum' and accused of 'endangering' her kids after sharing a video of herself making them 'naked burgers' using lettuce cups instead of bread rolls.

'Almond mum' is a pejorative term for a mother who pushes disordered and unhealthy eating habits on her children. It is often used to refer to parents who are 'obsessed' with nutrition.
A fired-up Rachael said the baseless accusation was frankly 'hilarious'.
Sharing a photo of herself cuddling up to her two children, whom she shares with her dancer husband Michael Miziner, she wrote: 'Someone officially labeled me an 'almond mum' this week.
'Definition according to Google: 'A parent who follows incredibly strict or dangerously unhealthy eating habits and attempts to force them on their children.'

'Whilst it's downright nasty, it's also absurdly hilarious. I've become a pro at emotionally responding to these comments now.
'I've had a giggle with a lot of you on what type of mum you would be if you were labelled by a food. Comment what type of food mum you would be?'
Several of Rachael's followers agreed 'almond mum' was an unfair label.
One commented: 'I wish my kids happily ate what yours do! Such an inspiration to a healthy lifestyle and teaching your children wonderful habits.'
Another wrote: 'Oh, my goodness. I have no words.'
