TOUGH BEGINNINGS
She said that when she was first getting into athletics she was not naturally gifted and often came last. She continued training and competing despite poor results and soon began to enjoy sport. "When I started athletics at 12, I actually wasn't very good at all, I even embarrassed my mum. I just wouldn't give up because I was just so determined to get better. After a while it came together and I loved it. From then on, I remember committing myself. I just became very much in to pushing my body to the limit, just seeing how far I could go with it."
