Kids are always going to be around people who break world records and that. It's how you deal with that. I never let it get in the way of my race, but I am always more than happy after the race to sign autographs and have photos.

I've made sure I am working hard enough to get that lead and keep it there.

I am only this successful because I'm so good at grounding myself.

I'm going into my first Olympics, whereas people I'm racing against are going into their third and fourth and probably last Olympics. So there's more pressure on them to perform. I've still got a whole future ahead of me. I am not even the Olympic champ.

Seeing that flag means so much: I am inspired by my Queen, my country.

You can easily say, 'I can go 56', but how are you going to do that?
