One minute you're a developing athlete trying to get to the top, then the next minute you do well and win a medal somewhere, and then it's all foisted on you. You never know when it's going to happen. You don't think about the media side of things when you're a young athlete trying to do well.

On a scale of one to 10, I'd rate my body confidence as a good seven. Everyone has their hang-ups, but I see my body as a training tool and I feel good about it.

My idea of beauty is somebody that doesn't have to try too much, someone who is effortless and fresh.

I don't want to think of life after competing. But if I were to do anything else I'd go down the psychology route. That's what interests me.

I'm proud of the way I've dealt with setbacks. It's hard when you feel down and you think, 'Why is the world doing this to me?' But you have to pick yourself up again. That's what makes you a better athlete.

It's really important for me to look good before a race. I definitely think if I feel I look good, it makes me feel more confident.

I just love thinking about what makes people tick
