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

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

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

People think the gold medal is yours and they say you're going to win - but they have no idea how hard it is. People aren't doing it negatively - they're mostly lovely and they really do want you to win - but they don't understand the difficulty and intensity of competition.

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

There was a massive poster of me down my road, right outside the chip shop. I was about to go in, but then I saw it and changed my mind. Me coming out with a bag of chips, while I'm up there doing crunches on the poster... well, it would not look good.
