The World Motivation
I've got so many big gains to make in the javelin and the shot put. I know I'm not going to be winning the field in those events, but I need to do myself justice.

I'm in awe of any Olympic champion, for sure.
There will be mental worries with the long jump before Rio, but I know I can get through it. It's just getting my confidence back. I know I have a big jump in me.
It's impossible in heptathlon to have a proper rivalry - you're spending two days together and seven events and dedicate your life to it. It's like a marathon: two days of mental and physical exhaustion.
We have to lie to ourselves as decathletes and say that we like all ten events.
Everyone kept saying, 'The terrorists didn't win. You won! We won! You survived!' That's just weird to me. Nobody wins in these situations. I don't see winners and losers in tragic events.
The heptathlon is made up of seven events, and people have strengths and weaknesses.
The compulsively readable events of my life occurred mainly in infancy, and it's been pretty humdrum ever since.
I'm happy fighting Brandon Vera because he has good Muay Thai. He's very known with the UFC, and he was part of several important events in the UFC.
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.
