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

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 want to experience that massive adrenalin rush when you step into a new stadium, all the more so when that Olympic Stadium is packed full of people waving British flags.

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

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.

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.
