I love getting dressed up for red carpet events and having my hair and makeup done professionally - that definitely helps with nerves of going down the red carpet.

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

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.

I don't want to think of life after competing. But if I were to do anything else I'd go down the psychology route. That's what interests me.

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