I wasn't the kind of kid who would get A's without even trying. I had to work to get good grades, but I was very organised about it because I always wanted to do well at everything I did. I'm very competitive.

To unwind after training, I love to have a long hot soak in the bath, then veg out on the sofa with a box set. I'm a box-set junkie! I absolutely love 'Grey's Anatomy.'

After my first day of competition I put on compression socks. They help me recover for the next day.

I do watch what I eat but I've got a real sweet tooth.

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

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.

I carry a golf ball to put under my feet when they get tight, and a Thera-Band for general stretching.
