There Was A Massive Poster Of Me

One Minute You're A Developing Athlete Trying To Get To The Top, Then The Next Minute You Do Well And Win A Medal Somewhere, And Then It's All Foisted On You. You Never Know When It's Going To Happen. You Don't Think About The Media Side Of Things When You're A Young Athlete Trying To Do Well.

We Always Spend More Time On The Throwing Events And A Little Bit More On The Long Jump. They're My Weaker Events - They Don't Come As Naturally To Me As Running And Jumping. I Like The Hurdles And The High-jump, I'm A Springy, Speedy Athlete So Those Suit Me.

It's Quite Funny In That I Once Won Rear Of The Year At My School! I Was About 17 In The Sixth Form And We Used To Have An End Of Year Celebration And Give Out Different Awards. I Even Got A Little Trophy!

I Want To Experience That Massive Adrenalin Rush When You Step Into A New Stadium, All The More So When That Olympic Stadium Is Packed Full Of People Waving British Flags.

There Was A Massive Poster Of Me Down My Road, Right Outside The Chip Shop. I Was About To Go In, But Then I Saw It And Changed My Mind. Me Coming Out With A Bag Of Chips, While I'm Up There Doing Crunches On The Poster... Well, It Would Not Look Good.
