Athletics, I run the 200m.

I never really had any interest in taking part in the sport until my brother started winning stuff in soccer so I wanted to be like him.

Being able to keep fit and healthy doing something you love.

I train roughly 5 days a week. Monday: speed endurance. Tuesday: circuits and medicine ball. Wednesday: technical. Thursday: speed. Saturday: technical.

To make the Olympic Games!

On the lead up to the competition I listen to all the advice my coaches give me and focus on my weaknesses but also strengths. It’s good to know what you’re good at as it may be someone else’s weakness. In the weeks leading into competition I try to eat a little healthier than usual but I’m not too strict. And on the day of the competition I listen to music and try to get as much sugar in my body as possible.

Injury. When you get injured it’s a setback and like any athlete, you want to get back as quick as possible. Injury struck me this year for about a month and it takes its toll. You just have to give it time to heal and most importantly remain positive.

Gina Luckenkemper. I remember racing her roughly 3 years ago at the European Junior Championships and I remember how calm she remained in the call room, dancing before she went to her marks. Now Gina is competing in the Diamond League, so I see that as being inspiring.

I’m sure my coaches already know I love to eat food but I’m definitely a sucker for chocolate!

At my most recent competition I was doing a session and at the end of it noticed that all of Team Portugal were laughing at me. Then someone translated why… I had a huge tear in the back of my leggings. Mighty craic!

Do it to love it! Don’t put pressure on yourself or let anyone else. Good things come to those who wait.
