I've been training quite hard.

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.

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.

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.

I have seven disciplines to train for, and so I try to complete them all every week.

I think I rely on my talent more than my brain sometimes.

I should have a better CV, and that's knocked me into believing that I have to grab these opportunities while I can.

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.

As an athlete, you have to become quite selfish with your time and your body and your training.

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.

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!

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.

It's getting harder as I get more known. Even though it's my break, I couldn't really go out and get drunk - because people expect you to be training and getting up early. But I'm not bothered about missing out on normal teenage things.

It's a huge step up from the European Indoors to then being a gold medallist at the World Championships.

I'm in awe of any Olympic champion, for sure.

Competing in London would be a dream come true.

Very few athletes get to experience a home Games, and I don't want to pass up the chance.

I think everyone in the heptathlon is improving together, so it is a very hard event to compete in.

I like to balance competing with studying. It's hard work at the moment, but it could be worse.

No one put pressure on me to go to the Olympics; once I'd got the qualifying mark, I just couldn't say no.

When it comes to peaking at the right time, I have to thank my coach Mike Holmes: he is a genius.

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.

I think 2020 can still be my time.

Maybe I'm the kind of athlete who absorbs the atmosphere instead of trying to block it out.
