It's a huge step up from the European Indoors to then being a gold medallist at the World Championships.
From Katarina Johnson-Thompson
If something is mine, then I want to keep it.
It's getting harder as I get more known. Even though it's my break, I couldn't really go out and get drunk - because people expect you to be training and getting up early. But I'm not bothered about missing out on normal teenage things.
My granddad used to mind me at weekends, and if the game was on, and you wanted to get across the room, you had to crawl under the TV. So I've always been a Liverpool fan, and meeting Steven Gerrard was massive for me. He knew who I was before we'd even said hello!
I was watching 'Deal or No Deal' on YouTube recently, and I bawled when the contestant won £250,000. I think I just like watching people achieve their dreams.
As an athlete, you have to become quite selfish with your time and your body and your training.
Beijing was a huge slap in the face, and it forced me to look at myself. I have to realise that this is my life.
I should have a better CV, and that's knocked me into believing that I have to grab these opportunities while I can.
I can't change my personality. I'll always smile, but I'll be more focused.
I think I rely on my talent more than my brain sometimes.
