Recently I visited the Olympic Park site where I had a photo shoot for a national newspaper supplement.
It was great to visit the Park for the first time and in particular to see where the Olympic Stadium will be in 2012.
I still live close to Stratford and still train in the area, so I have obviously heard a lot about the preparations for the London 2012 Games. There are so many diggers around the site that are moving mounds of soils so construction can start on the main venues shortly.
It is amazing to think I could be here in 2012 competing and winning medals for Team GB in front of friends, family and an enthusiastic home crowd. Fingers crossed!
I have just come back from California where I have been training in preparation for the Beijing 2008 Games; it is not long now until I fly out with the rest of the GB squad. I can’t wait to get out there and start competing...
