I remember going down the tunnel into the Olympic Stadium and getting a glimpse of all the people and hearing all the noise, all the people shouting for us. I'd seen Usain Bolt on the warm-up track, and then, as I walked into the stadium, I sort of realised how big it was!
Quote by -Katarina Johnson-Thompson
London 2012 was the biggest thing I will probably ever do, but I didn't realise it at the time!
Quote by -Katarina Johnson-Thompson
There's a big debate whether pentathlon or heptathlon is harder: five events in one day or seven in two.
Quote by -Katarina Johnson-Thompson
It was just me and my mum growing up, and my mum's always said that's why I'm so mature. We were best friends, and if it wasn't for her, I wouldn't even have started athletics, because she wanted me to have a hobby.
Quote by -Katarina Johnson-Thompson
I was one of those girls in class who always had her hair in plaits, was always with the boys, always playing football in the street.
Quote by -Katarina Johnson-Thompson
At primary school, it was always me and this other girl, Lauren, who would fight over who was the fastest every year. I was quicker, but for some reason, she always got the glory leg in the relay team. That used to annoy me.
Quote by -Katarina Johnson-Thompson
My mum was a dancer. She would tour the world with a group, and she had me in a dance class when I was still in a nappy. They told her to come back when I could walk.
Quote by -Katarina Johnson-Thompson
I actually hated dancing. My mum used to have to bribe me to go by buying me things. A year before I stopped going, I was going to go for an audition with the Royal Ballet. It turned out I was a year too young. Because I was tall, they thought I was older. But before I had the chance to go back, I quit.
Quote by -Katarina Johnson-Thompson
You don't have to be a bodybuilder to have strength in your muscles.
Quote by -Katarina Johnson-Thompson
It's crazy because it's a British record and a personal best, but I wanted that 2 m. I cleared the 1.97 m. first attempt with space, so I think I could have done a little better.
Quote by -Katarina Johnson-Thompson
Every international meeting or championship I do, I can cope a lot better because I can say I did the 100 m. hurdles, opened up the athletics at an Olympic Games in front of a home crowd, 80,000 people.
Quote by -Katarina Johnson-Thompson
I used to keep injuries to myself. It would just make it worse and worse. Now I'm having none of that.
Quote by -Katarina Johnson-Thompson
You don't not want to beat somebody because you're friends with them.
Quote by -Katarina Johnson-Thompson
I've always followed this page on Instagram called the Sausage Dog Hotel.
Quote by -Katarina Johnson-Thompson
It's impossible in heptathlon to have a proper rivalry - you're spending two days together and seven events and dedicate your life to it. It's like a marathon: two days of mental and physical exhaustion.
Quote by -Katarina Johnson-Thompson
In boxing, it's one fight, so it's easier to build up rivalries, but everyone's got huge respect for each other.
Quote by -Katarina Johnson-Thompson
Getting rid of all the world records would be a bit of a radical move.
Quote by -Katarina Johnson-Thompson
I've always believed in myself, and it's such a long competition over two days, you can't worry about what anyone else is doing.
Quote by -Katarina Johnson-Thompson
There will be mental worries with the long jump before Rio, but I know I can get through it. It's just getting my confidence back. I know I have a big jump in me.
Quote by -Katarina Johnson-Thompson
Mum is the girliest of them all, but she ended up with me, the tomboy.
Quote by -Katarina Johnson-Thompson
It's what happens in other major championships - I just lose my head a little bit.
Quote by -Katarina Johnson-Thompson
When you see all the medals won by Team GB, you can just see how much it means to each and every athlete, so it just feel like it's a little bit of a missed opportunity - but I'm only 23. I have just got to get on now and keep going.
Quote by -Katarina Johnson-Thompson
I've got so many big gains to make in the javelin and the shot put. I know I'm not going to be winning the field in those events, but I need to do myself justice.
Quote by -Katarina Johnson-Thompson
In 2012, I was over the moon to be there, especially as it was our home Olympics. It was a once-in-a-lifetime experience, and I just wanted to take everything in.
Quote by -Katarina Johnson-Thompson
I always have a book that I write during competition. I need it with me, just to read back and reflect and look forward. If I'm feeling anxious, it helps me.
Quote by -Katarina Johnson-Thompson
It's inspiring for me to know that you've got to step up your game.
Quote by -Katarina Johnson-Thompson
I just need to concentrate on each event and accumulate a good score, and hopefully I won't flop in the 800 m. in Gotzis.
Quote by -Katarina Johnson-Thompson
I can't be disappointed with my first gold in a senior championship, and to score 5000 points, which only one other woman, the world record holder, has got over, I am satisfied.
Quote by -Katarina Johnson-Thompson
Before training, I eat slow-release energy food, such as porridge or muesli, especially in the morning. Afterwards, I eat protein so my muscles are able to recover, such as a protein bar followed by a meal of chicken and vegetables. I always stay hydrated during workouts by drinking plenty of water throughout.
Quote by -Katarina Johnson-Thompson
I have seven disciplines to train for, and so I try to complete them all every week.
Quote by -Katarina Johnson-Thompson
I should have a better CV, and that's knocked me into believing that I have to grab these opportunities while I can.
Quote by -Katarina Johnson-Thompson
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.
Quote by -Katarina Johnson-Thompson
As an athlete, you have to become quite selfish with your time and your body and your training.
Quote by -Katarina Johnson-Thompson
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.
Quote by -Katarina Johnson-Thompson
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!
Quote by -Katarina Johnson-Thompson
For a long time, I thought it was all down to dedication, hard work, and visualising doing well - that worked for a bit, but then it stopped. I've realised you have to be more practical and mature to make things actually happen.
