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

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.

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

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

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.

I have a huge passion for animals and while retirement is a long way off, when I do I would love to do something with animals.

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.
