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.

Maybe that's why I like gymnastics - because I like to fly.

I want to jump far all the time and go out there and win medals.

I don't like bungee jumping, but I do like skiing.

When I was younger, I used to be a high jumper before I switched to hurdles.

I love watching gymnastics, swimming, and track and field.

I do like all different kinds of sports and stuff. I've taken up gymnastics and slacklining - you know, tightroping, basically.

We crave instant success these days. If you are a really good sprinter and long jumper, you don't want to spend two or three years on a whole new set of events. You're used to doing well and it's difficult to give that up.

Because I did gymnastics for such a long time, it's allowed me to stay really physical, and with the krav maga and all that, I can actually do a lot of my own stunts.
