"My father was a runner and he encouraged me to do [Australian children's athletics programme] Little Athletics. I started race walking because I found I was good at it. Not many people are naturally good at keeping one leg on the ground and moving as fast as they can." (blogs.deakin.edu.au, 01 Jan 2015)
