A female professional athlete has to have the whole package, as opposed to a guy who can just be good at sport. You have to have a job or go to uni or do three sports instead of one, you have to be a standout.

I've got to know my strength and weaknesses and the same for my competitors.

I definitely thrive off adversity. I know it's always up from there.

BMX is never over until the finish line, and I am always trying to challenge myself for that world stage.

Of course I would recommend marriage to others. Times are changing, even in the past people had kids without getting married but marriage gives stability to your family and people around you. It's a working institution and it can fail in certain situations.

I like being married. I'm at home with my wife and kids all the time now. I don't go out for wild nights.

I was always a big guy. You see my family - my brothers are the same size.

I'm very lucky because I don't half get some juicy jobs. But I can't tell you the number I've turned down in the past 20 years because I wanted to be at home, looking after my son. There was never any question about that. Alfie and I are dead close. I can't bear it when he's away.
