When it becomes hard for me not to eat bad food, I try to think about what I have to do and what is ahead of me and what I want to achieve.

Some people are used to having things done for them by her parents, I am not. I can do it myself.

Winning a gold medal is not easy but I believed in myself, especially over the last four years.

Being at school, being who I am, being an athlete, it was hard to find people like me. There's not many athletes that can be at my level. That was kind of hard finding people who love something so much they want to keep on doing it.

Coming over to Europe you can always put on weight really easily because you are not doing your normal routine at home. It is just a bit more discipline and not eating breads and pastas which are my favourite foods in the entire world.

If you hold back in hurdles, you are going to fall over.

I never let anything stop me from doing what I want to do.
