But if kids take up things like hockey and football they will go back to it.

Athletes these days are too robotic. People like to see performances filled with emotion. In my career I tried to be amusing, to differentiate myself from the other champions.

People tend to like an athlete's performance, but if you don't get a feeling for the individual, you're not very emotive about them.

Even if you've been involved in a World Cup, the Olympics is huge. Only the Games has the power to change communities.

I tend to eat vegetables only when I'm with the kids and the rest of the time, I'm a bit slack. But, I am weight-conscious, so I concentrate on avoiding junk food.

I've still got a small fitness and conditioning business where I travel round the world doing stuff for individuals and corporations, mainly fitness training.

For kids it's natural to be competitive.
