Hopefully, I can get multiple distances out there and re-establish myself as one of the best jumpers in the world.
Quote by -Greg Rutherford
I don't think there are many long jumpers who can say they have jumped so hard that have lost their hearing.
Quote by -Greg Rutherford
During your career, you put yourself in peak physical condition, but then you bear the brunt of it for the rest of your life.
Quote by -Greg Rutherford
If other people have problems with my competitions, then there's nothing I can do.
Quote by -Greg Rutherford
I am pleased I went from fourth back into a medal position, but bronze is not good enough for me.
Quote by -Greg Rutherford
If you put me against most sprinters in the world, I reckon over a start I could get very close, if not take them.
Quote by -Greg Rutherford
People forget that track and field is one of the hardest sports because we compete against all the world. There are many sports when you are up against only 15 or 20 countries.
Quote by -Greg Rutherford
I come into these competitions to win, not to get silver or bronze, so it is frustrating.
Quote by -Greg Rutherford
I drive relatively fast - within the remits of the law, obviously - but I struggle with people who do stupid things on the road. I have a massive urge to shout expletives at them.
Quote by -Greg Rutherford
Even though arguably I could have done much better at school, I'd decided at a young age that I was going to be a professional sportsman at some sport. And at that stage, there was a bit of luck: I was fortunate to meet the right people at the right time to get me to where I am now.
Quote by -Greg Rutherford
I'm a bit of a history goon, and I love all that. Anything that's medieval-based up until, probably, the Tudor period and just after, I'm quite into.
Quote by -Greg Rutherford
The DNA showed I have a level of endurance in me which I never really realised, which makes sense.
Quote by -Greg Rutherford
I do a lot of things like running hills and larger amounts of reps in the gym.
Quote by -Greg Rutherford
I take magnesium to prevent cramps. A few years back, I suffered from hamstring tears, and part of that can be to do with muscle cramping, and then pushing the muscle at that point. I also take a fish oil supplement.
Quote by -Greg Rutherford
I eat a lot of vegetables and salad. I put strawberries, pomegranate seeds, blackberries, and blueberries into shakes and add Greek yoghurt for a snack. I have this when I'm not training.
Quote by -Greg Rutherford
When at home in Buckinghamshire, I tend to work out for two to three hours on the track or in the woods close by and then do weights.
Quote by -Greg Rutherford
Running up a steep hill or up steps are fantastic ways of building explosive strength.
Quote by -Greg Rutherford
Jumping isn't as important to my training as you might think; I'm only in the sandpit once a week. There's a high risk factor of injury doing it, so instead, I rely on my progress in the gym to judge how far I'll jump on the big day.
Quote by -Greg Rutherford
I'm a very keen baker; I pride myself on my cakes. I go along the classic sponge line, but I like to jazz it up: I've made some psychedelic birthday cakes.
Quote by -Greg Rutherford
Me and my brother just used to fight all the time; then my sister came along, and it was all about the little girl in the house. We'd always eat dinner together as a family.
Quote by -Greg Rutherford
For a long time, I thought I'd be a physio if I wasn't a sportsman. At one point, I wanted to be an inventor, and I'd come up with little schemes.
Quote by -Greg Rutherford
The type of IBS I am prone to is the constipation type, where I get trapped wind and can get sharp painful spasms in my intestines as well as having sluggish bowels.
Quote by -Greg Rutherford
Ultimately, you've got to answer your critics on the track, and I am very much hoping 8.41m is acceptable for people.
Quote by -Greg Rutherford
It would be pretty special if I could win two Olympic gold medals, one at the Summer Games and one from the Winters, so I'm going to give it a real go.
Quote by -Greg Rutherford
My favourite series of all time has been 'Band of Brothers.' That was amazing; I've watched that so many times.
Quote by -Greg Rutherford
I seem to be the 'luckiest' athlete around - and that's one of the most frustrating things. You compete against a vast array of people and train your whole life for those moments.
Quote by -Greg Rutherford
I've got two chocolate labradors, Murphy and Dexter. They're like my children.
Quote by -Greg Rutherford
It's all about proving it on the track and proving to people that have different views wrong.
Quote by -Greg Rutherford
I have been in discussions with the BBC regarding my involvement with SPOTY after hearing what I believe to be very outdated and derogatory comments from a fellow SPOTY nominee.
Quote by -Greg Rutherford
As a jumper, I try to defy gravity as long as I can. But no matter how far I jump, I'll always hit the earth eventually.
Quote by -Greg Rutherford
I always start the day with a protein shake: protein powder mixed with water, peanut butter, and yoghurt to thicken it up.
Quote by -Greg Rutherford
My dad is a builder, and my mum's a nurse. They're just very normal people.
