Manchester United and in rugby union I support Harlequins and Wasps.

OUTSIDE OF SPORT I AM PASSIONATE ABOUT...
Gadgets. Things like PlayStation, Xbox, Macs, Bluetooth, anything electronic that needs to be charged... I'm also really passionate about cooking!

I REALLY ENJOY...
Football but I'm not allowed to play whilst I'm competing - once I get my Olympic gold I want to do a football challenge match. I also enjoy playing badminton and really want to learn to swim.

Superman - that would be amazing.

SOMETHING NO-ONE KNOWS ABOUT YOU...
I'm a bit of a geek and really like reading mythology as super beings are all kind of flawed.

DO YOU LIKE COOKING - AND WHAT'S YOUR FAVOURITE RECIPE?
I love cooking and chicken is my favourite. I like to seal my chicken in onion and seasonings (whatever is in the cupboard) and leave in the oven for half an hour... this cooks the chicken and then I use the left-over seasoning to make a sauce.

HOW DO YOU PASS THE TIME WHEN IN HOTELS BEFORE RACES OR COMPETITIONS?
On my Mac laptop, playing Football Manager - I last played it for 125 days from December to October.

DO YOU HAVE ANY CURRENT PROJECTS OR FUTURE ASPIRATIONS OUTSIDE OF YOUR SPORT?
I'd like to be on TV, on a cooking or gadget show. I also think I'd make a good personal consultant or life coach.

ARE THERE ANY INTERESTING FACTS YOU THINK PEOPLE WOULD WANT TO KNOW ABOUT YOU?
I am a bit of geek!
