After my first day of competition I put on compression socks. They help me recover for the next day.

I don't look at Twitter between events because it's a distraction but I will ring my fiance and parents to let them know how it's going.

I carry a golf ball to put under my feet when they get tight, and a Thera-Band for general stretching.

To unwind after training, I love to have a long hot soak in the bath, then veg out on the sofa with a box set. I'm a box-set junkie! I absolutely love 'Grey's Anatomy.'

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.

It's really important for me to look good before a race. I definitely think if I feel I look good, it makes me feel more confident.

On a scale of one to 10, I'd rate my body confidence as a good seven. Everyone has their hang-ups, but I see my body as a training tool and I feel good about it.

I learned what I need to do in the long jump, what I needed to do in the javelin and I've been able to rectify those events. It's been a bit of a learning curve, which is good.

I do watch what I eat but I've got a real sweet tooth.

To get the adrenaline pumping between events - or to help me switch off, Jay Z, the Roots and Drake are on my playlist.

I love getting dressed up for red carpet events and having my hair and makeup done professionally - that definitely helps with nerves of going down the red carpet.

Action is king, but wisdom is queen.

It is not what you look at, but rather what you see that matters. Set your focus right.

Do anything that you want to do other than what you are required to do...success will surely go to others.

I have a great deal of company in the house, especially in the morning when nobody calls.

Contrary to what you believe, the earth does not revolve around the desires of your crotch.

God does not take away trials or carry us over them, but strengthens us through them.

I don't want last season to be as good as I get.

Find what scares you and do it.

I find love from time to time.

I'm an avid cook. Brazilian, some Italian, a little French. And I often throw dinner parties.
