| Who
is your biggest fan? |
| It
would have to be my wife (and probably my mother-in-law) - she
tends to record all my races and watches them, and re-watches
them, and re-watches tham! She doesn't necessarily give me advise
but she wants me to give her the breakdown of every single race
that I do so she's pretty knowledgable with it! |
| |
| Have
you any supersticions? |
| I
was told at school that if you walk on three drains it's bad
luck so I've carried that with me ever since - it makes life
a bit tricky when I'm out training as obviously I'm running
over drains the whole time so you'll see me weaving around drains
every other step! |
| |
| Gold
at Athens? |
| When
you've got the world record holder in the final and an extremely
good French guy, it'll be tough. On the day, you have to get
everything right and get that perfect race. It's going to be
an interesting race, certainly. |
| |
| Have
you any distractions? |
| At
the end of October we're expecting a little baby so we're getting
very excited at the moment. So in October we'll have something
screaming round the house, which'll be great fun I'm sure! |
