To get the adrenaline pumping between events - or to help me switch off, Jay Z, the Roots and Drake are on my playlist.

We always spend more time on the throwing events and a little bit more on the long jump. They're my weaker events - they don't come as naturally to me as running and jumping. I like the hurdles and the high-jump, I'm a springy, speedy athlete so those suit me.

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

People who aren't perhaps that into sport are going to be following me and wanting to be part of the Olympics. That definitely does bring added pressure but as an athlete the Olympics are the ultimate competition.

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