2012 has been an extraordinary year for our country. We cheered our Queen to the rafters with the Jubilee, showed the world what we're made of by staging the most spectacular Olympic and Paralympic Games ever and - let's not forget - punched way above our weight in the medals table. ↗

It was pretty extensive - we worked out 8 hours a day, 5 days a week, for 3 months, which I think is more than anybody in the Olympics. I thought well I don't need this, the girls need it, but it was a gift. ↗

I tried to make the Olympics team in 1956. ↗

That's pretty rewarding in itself coming from where I started. Obviously the next goal for me is to make the Olympic team. ↗

The Olympic Games were created for the exhaltation of the individual athlete. ↗
