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

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 definitely agree with that. You've got your adrenaline pumping, and both of us were going for it. … It was wild. It wasn't just at the finish. We were bumping each other all the way through (turns) three and four.

My adrenaline was pumping. I just wanted to make sure everyone was safe.

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.

The closer I get to retirement, the more I feel it will be a huge change, a shock, because athletics has been the core of my whole life. I know I'll miss the feeling of running fast, the adrenaline rush, and hearing the crowd cheering me on.
