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.

It's always, 'Are you the runner girl?' I say, 'My name is Sally actually.' I used to always get that at school as well, 'Are you the runner girl?' I'm not even the runner girl, I'm a hurdler.

Hurdling, sprinting, athletics in general, is always in the back of your mind.

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

My job is my sport so I have to make sure that I stay focussed on it. I train almost every day so it takes up a lot of my life and you don't want to bring any new distractions into your life.

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