Goldie Sayers is Britain's top javelin thrower and is in the top six in the world.

The 25-year old from Newmarket is set to compete at her second Olympics.

I’ve been busy competing and doing my relaxing on some rollercoasters.

One of my meets was in Germany, where I managed to throw well over 63.5 metres to beat two of my main rivals - Christina Obergfoll and Steffi Nerius.

I then had my jabs for Beijing, before hitting Alton Towers with a few mates for some fun. I normally love the rollercoaster rides, but this time I felt a bit ill.

It might have been the jabs, or it might have had something to do with being thrown around on the rides, but overall, it was good chilling with my friends.

It was then on to France for the Europa Cup. I was expecting bigger things and was hoping it was all going to come together, but Obergfoll and I struggled to deal with the track. My left foot kept slipping as the track had just been re-laid and there were lots of loose bits of tartan - I just couldn’t get any connection with the javelin.

It was very frustrating. It is sometimes hard not to be wound up and these things can easily sap your motivation, but it was something out of my control. It wasn’t a reflection of what I’m capable of and it was still a great event. These kinds of frustrations might just make me throw further.

The tournament was a great success for GB. No one performed out of their skins but there was a great team spirit. Many of us have grown up together. There is a big group of us in our mid-20s like Nicola Sanders, Mo Farah and Chris Tomlinson – it does really help when everybody gets on so well, but it’s just great to see the team building. At 2012 we will be peaking at exactly the right time.

Everything else has been going to plan. I’ve been keeping it very quick in training and more explosive with my sprints and weight sessions (see above picture), and consolidating technical work.

I’m feeling confident and probably need two more competitions. I haven’t yet thrown as far as I think I can. June was all about being consistent (which I feel I achieved with three meets over 63.5m) and now I’m focused on the trials in Birmingham at the weekend.

The Olympics is always in the back of your mind, but you can’t think about it too much. The momentum’s been building all year and I’m trying to keep a lid on it until 19 August. The adrenaline will be pumping by the time we get to our holding camp in Macau.

I’ve just got to stay healthy. I got my letter about picking up my Olympic kit but because we haven’t technically qualified I haven’t been measured up.

All the GB kit I’ve ever owned is at my mum’s house. It all means so much to me, I just can’t get rid of it. I’d need an extension to my house to look after it. We get around 97 different items as part of the kit but the Olympic vest has to be my favourite thing.

One story that everybody’s talking about is Dwain Chambers. It’s not personal and I’m sure he’s a lovely guy, but I’m all for the bylaw being upheld. If it’s not, then what sort of message does that send out?

There is also a human rights issue and the fact he made a mistake. But I do not agree with any form of drug taking and what about all of the other guys that are working really hard without enhancement? It’s a real kick in the teeth.

The bad thing is that athletics is probably the cleanest it has ever been. It would be great if some British athletes could re-write the headlines with medal-winning performances to get doping off the back pages.

Thank you for all your comments and questions. Keep them coming in and I’ll do my best to answer some of them. Here are a couple of answers.

Flem_uk asked about how I approach the qualifying round in a major championships.

It is a really tricky situation just competing against yourself and the event in the qualifier. You have to see qualifying and the final as one whole competition as you have to get up for it enough. It’s all about being consistent and being able to bang out 61m, whatever the situation. This is something I have worked hard on in training.

The qualifying will start at 9 in the morning and I often find myself qualifying in the first group so you don’t know what others have done. You do need to save something for the final and you do get a day’s rest before the final.

DJHDJH asked about how I balance out my training. It’s all about getting better at every aspect and to be an all round athlete. Because I’m not 6ft 2in and don’t have a long leverage, I have to work hard on balance, rhythm, athleticism, power and most of all technique.

Keep those questions coming in. See you.
