After My First Day Of Competition I

I Think There's Going To Be Pressure On All The British Athletes. It's A Home Olympics At The End Of The Day. I Like Adrenaline, That's Something I Feed Off. I'm Just Going To Go Out There And Do My Best.

Things Have Changed So Much, With Facebook And Twitter. Everyone Is So Much More Accessible These Days: No British Athlete Has Ever Experienced What We Are Experiencing Now. It's Such A Unique Situation With The Home Olympics.

People Think The Gold Medal Is Yours And They Say You're Going To Win - But They Have No Idea How Hard It Is. People Aren't Doing It Negatively - They're Mostly Lovely And They Really Do Want You To Win - But They Don't Understand The Difficulty And Intensity Of Competition.

I Was Around 15 When I First Wanted To Compete In An Olympics. I Even Remember The First Time I Got To Wear A Gb Kit As A Junior. I've Even Kept It. It's In My Mum's Loft Somewhere, Probably Gone Mouldy By Now.

I Wasn't The Kind Of Kid Who Would Get A's Without Even Trying. I Had To Work To Get Good Grades, But I Was Very Organised About It Because I Always Wanted To Do Well At Everything I Did. I'm Very Competitive.
