I just love thinking about what makes people tick

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 don't look at Twitter between events because it's a distraction but I will ring my fiance and parents to let them know how it's going.

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

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 was around 15 when I first wanted to compete in an Olympics. I even remember the first time I got to wear a GB kit as a junior. I've even kept it. It's in my mum's loft somewhere, probably gone mouldy by now.

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.
