Very few athletes get to experience a home Games, and I don't want to pass up the chance.
Quote by -Katarina Johnson-Thompson
I think everyone in the heptathlon is improving together, so it is a very hard event to compete in.
Quote by -Katarina Johnson-Thompson
I like to balance competing with studying. It's hard work at the moment, but it could be worse.
Quote by -Katarina Johnson-Thompson
No one put pressure on me to go to the Olympics; once I'd got the qualifying mark, I just couldn't say no.
Quote by -Katarina Johnson-Thompson
When it comes to peaking at the right time, I have to thank my coach Mike Holmes: he is a genius.
Quote by -Katarina Johnson-Thompson
I've always looked at 2016, but 2020 is realistic for me. I'll be 23 in 2016, but if I keep on progressing, hopefully 2016 will be a medal chance as well for me.
Quote by -Katarina Johnson-Thompson
Maybe I'm the kind of athlete who absorbs the atmosphere instead of trying to block it out.
Quote by -Katarina Johnson-Thompson
When there was a fight in school, because I was the tall one, the teachers would say, 'I know you were there. I could see you.'
Quote by -Katarina Johnson-Thompson
I'm very wholehearted. I want to concentrate on one thing in my life at one time.
Quote by -Katarina Johnson-Thompson
I got very addicted to performing. I just want to do that more.
Quote by -Katarina Johnson-Thompson
I live with my mum and my nan. I think I will leave eventually, but not at the moment when they look after me so well. If you came to my house, they'd make you eat something.
Quote by -Katarina Johnson-Thompson
In the lead-up to competitions, I just watch box sets and DVDs and play 'Candy Crush.'
Quote by -Katarina Johnson-Thompson
Thankfully, I found athletics. My mum didn't like it at first, but the funny thing is that, now, she's the biggest athletics fan out there. She's a real expert, and she's got all the heptathlon books.
Quote by -Katarina Johnson-Thompson
If you saw pictures of me as a kid, you'd laugh because I was always in football kit.
Quote by -Katarina Johnson-Thompson
Record-breaking is not getting boring. I am definitely happy with that.
Quote by -Katarina Johnson-Thompson
I played a lot of football, and I was a goalkeeper, but I didn't really like playing in goal.
Quote by -Katarina Johnson-Thompson
Everything happens for a reason - I'm a believer of that for sure.
Quote by -Katarina Johnson-Thompson
I'm training once a day, four days a week, and just loving life.
Quote by -Katarina Johnson-Thompson
For me, I can't see Liverpool without him because he's just been there since I was a kid. I had him on the back of my shirt. He's always been on the team every time I've watched Liverpool. It's going to be really weird next season, a Steven Gerrard-less Liverpool side.
Quote by -Katarina Johnson-Thompson
An example of my average week would be the gym on Monday; Tuesday will be a technical session. I practice running and high jump on Thursday and then have another technical session at the weekend.
Quote by -Katarina Johnson-Thompson
In the heptathlon, you can be any shape. Some of the girls are more built than others, and their strong events are the shot put and javelin.
Quote by -Katarina Johnson-Thompson
As a Liverpool fan, I'm an eternal optimist because of what we did in Istanbul in 2005.
Quote by -Katarina Johnson-Thompson
When I was a kid, I always had my hair in two plaits. But for dancing, I had to have it in a bun because I did ballet.
Quote by -Katarina Johnson-Thompson
They're just my weaknesses. Everyone is just constantly talking to me about it. It doesn't help.
Quote by -Katarina Johnson-Thompson
I've always known that Rio and Tokyo are my two Olympics. Now that Rio hasn't gone to plan, Tokyo has to work, and I'm more motivated than ever.
Quote by -Katarina Johnson-Thompson
I don't do athletics for any other reason than achieving certain distances, certain titles and goals in my head.
Quote by -Katarina Johnson-Thompson
That people believe I can be Olympic champ, it just spurs me on.
Quote by -Katarina Johnson-Thompson
I always said I wanted an Olympic medal. It's the pinnacle of any athlete's career.
Quote by -Katarina Johnson-Thompson
I used to play football with a load of lads, and I would be like a secret agent going out with a hat on so they wouldn't see my hair in a bun.
Quote by -Katarina Johnson-Thompson
Obviously, when you're up against somebody you don't like there's extra motivation, but I don't think any person going for an Olympic gold is going to put friendship first.
Quote by -Katarina Johnson-Thompson
It's very easy to run a good 200 m. after an appalling shot put.
Quote by -Katarina Johnson-Thompson
I can handle coming fifth as long as I know I've given my all out there and have no regrets.
Quote by -Katarina Johnson-Thompson
The heptathlon is made up of seven events, and people have strengths and weaknesses.
Quote by -Katarina Johnson-Thompson
It's a huge step up from the European Indoor Championships to being world outdoor gold medallist.
Quote by -Katarina Johnson-Thompson
You can only train three or four hours a day, so what do you do with the other 20 hours?
Quote by -Katarina Johnson-Thompson
You can be in the shape of your life, and then injury strikes. So you have to grab your opportunities.
