“I'm a big vitamins girl. I take iron because, especially being a femal...” — Jessica Long Quote

I'm a big vitamins girl. I take iron because, especially being a female athlete, I have to make sure iron levels are good to go.

I love taking Epsom salt baths.

For me, I don't kick because I don't have legs.

There are things out of my control and that fuels my fire.

I've been a bilateral amputee since birth and don't know anything else.

I'm an athlete who took the sport to another level. I don't get or ever got the respect from people.

The Olympic Games were created for the exhaltation of the individual athlete.

I would say that one of the really special gifts about playing an athlete is that it's the best motivation you'll ever have to get in top shape and stay in top shape because you know that you're going to be expected to deliver.

I just wanted to be an athlete.

I've become more of a climber now - who still keeps that time trial as strong as ever. It gives me such self-belief. I feel a different athlete.
