But I'm after medals more than anything. Championships don't get taken away from you but records do, so I think I'd rather have medals at every championships rather than times. A world record would be a bonus, but I'm still only 25 in 17 days.

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

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

I'm really hard on myself as well, nothing is good enough for me in training. I always want more, I always want to give 100%. I use my training like a competition. I imagine these two girls next to me every time single time I'm going over those hurdles in training.

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.

My goals were last year to win the world champs and this year to win the Olympic Games and I've done that and I couldn't be happier.

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