The Commonwealth is one of three belts I want to win before going for a world title.

I'd always said that I'd like to have a title by the next Olympics, so this is a great opportunity, and could be the start of my climb to a world title.

I am prepared to resort to anything, to submit to anything, for the sake of the commonwealth.

When you won that title you should know now that you are representing a whole country or nation with your actions and you are now in a glass house or under a microscope and you better be ready to make your people proud.

I've been proud to be national champion. I've really enjoyed it. I have very little opportunity to remind people that I'm British and it's a nice way of staying in touch. I'm going to defend it fiercely. I want to keep it.

I'm going to be the champion for a long time.

Being a world champion is something I'm already proud of and can take for the rest of my life.

The London games mark the 24th anniversary of my winning two golds and setting the world record in the heptathlon. Someone is going to want it; records are made to be broken - it's only a matter of time. I hope mine will outlive me.

I want to be the European, Olympic, Commonwealth and world champion. I want the full set.
