In the week before a race, I try to stay away from germ areas. I keep disinfectant wipes in my bag for when I have to use a supermarket trolley or something like that.

In my Olympic history I don't think I have achieved my potential as an athlete. That's what I want when I look back at my career. I want to be able to say I gave it my best shot.

There's always going to be somebody who takes a dislike to you and you can't waste time worrying about it.

From my training I can get a good idea of what I'm capable of.

I try not to worry about things that I can't control.

Every time I go out and race it's a goal to go out and run faster than I've done before.

I took a lot of bad things after Athens. I just learnt to deal with it. The problem was beforehand I had this feeling where I was trying to please everybody - I wanted everybody to like me.
