There is enough going on in Olympic year without having to do my own cooking and washing.

To win Olympic gold has been a dream for me for seven or eight years now, so it was amazing to actually achieve that.

I like having my own story remain my story.

Olympic champions should be 100 per cent athletes who have made the sacrifices.

I'm not a cheater, but if I win Olympic gold and people are looking at me and saying I am a cheat because I've won, it's hugely disrespectful given the hard work I've put in.

I always did think that when I turned 40, I'd start coming into my own.
