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.

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.

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.

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

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.

I imagine these two girls next to me every time single time I'm going over those hurdles in training.

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