If you reach the heights then it's great but if you can inspire young people at school, university or as a coach, then it is a fantastic life.

I will always encourage any young person, especially young black females. If you want to be involved in sport please do it.

Winning that gold medal in Sydney really did change my life.

The initial feelings when you step into the Olympic arena representing your country, your community, representing yourself can be really overwhelming.

I'm a soul and R'n'B kind of girl.

You can't complain about Sir Steve or Jill Halfpenny in 'Strictly Come Dancing.' But Michael Owen in 1998, that really does bother me.

You never remember what you say to the Queen, she just has this aura about her.

Obviously it is well documented that I didn't love the 800m when I started out. But I, er, learnt to appreciate it.

I do love 'Gogglebox' and I have done from the get-go.

Sydney has such a cosmopolitan feel to it. The food is great and Australians are so friendly.
