Zitat des Tages von Greg Rutherford:

I was that ginger kid who always wanted people to like him. It's hard, and you've got a big chip on your shoulder for a long time.

When at home in Buckinghamshire, I tend to work out for two to three hours on the track or in the woods close by and then do weights.

It's all about proving it on the track and proving to people that have different views wrong.

Greg Rutherford

Ultimately the clothing company is a large investment on my part, and I'm taking a huge gamble. But having a focus away from the track is good for you.

Greg Rutherford

Being in a scenario where you're thinking, 'I can't do what I want to do due to the financial burden that comes with some of it,' makes you think, 'Well, I could go and do an after-dinner speech every night.' I'd probably earn more than I could in track-and-field. But that's a dangerous scenario to get yourself into.

Greg Rutherford

I thought I was going to jump further than that, but I don't care - I'm Olympic champion.

Greg Rutherford

My favourite series of all time has been 'Band of Brothers.' That was amazing; I've watched that so many times.

Over the years, I've had torrid luck with things going wrong.

Greg Rutherford

I haven't actually checked my family tree, but Rutherford is a very old Scottish name, so I've probably got Scottish genes a few generations back.

As a jumper, I try to defy gravity as long as I can. But no matter how far I jump, I'll always hit the earth eventually.

Greg Rutherford

I'm a very keen baker; I pride myself on my cakes. I go along the classic sponge line, but I like to jazz it up: I've made some psychedelic birthday cakes.

Greg Rutherford

I was persuaded to see 'The Muppets' by a friend, and I regretted it. A very boring hour and a half.

Greg Rutherford

Ultimately, I'm enjoying what I'm doing.

I can't tell you how much everyone has worked so hard for me, as well as myself.

Since the Olympics in London, people say, 'Greg's won again. That's what we all expect. Of course he wins.'

Greg Rutherford

If other people have problems with my competitions, then there's nothing I can do.

Greg Rutherford

Me and my brother just used to fight all the time; then my sister came along, and it was all about the little girl in the house. We'd always eat dinner together as a family.

Greg Rutherford

I have a real passion for anything medieval, which is why I love the drama series 'Game Of Thrones.'

Greg Rutherford

My parents were great at making sure I got out of bed when I needed to play football on a Sunday morning and that I was ready after school to go to training on a Tuesday and Thursday. But it was never forced upon me or rammed down my throat. If it had been, I could have ended up hating sport.

Greg Rutherford

I dabbled in football myself until the age of 14, but I didn't have as much love for the sport as I did track and field. I would never have been good enough to take it to the highest level.

Greg Rutherford

It will be good fun finding out what sport baby's good at; perhaps it will be something obscure. My parents were fantastic at taking me to training sessions and letting me try lots of different sports, so I want to do the same.

Greg Rutherford

Jumping isn't as important to my training as you might think; I'm only in the sandpit once a week. There's a high risk factor of injury doing it, so instead, I rely on my progress in the gym to judge how far I'll jump on the big day.

Greg Rutherford

I always start the day with a protein shake: protein powder mixed with water, peanut butter, and yoghurt to thicken it up.

I take magnesium to prevent cramps. A few years back, I suffered from hamstring tears, and part of that can be to do with muscle cramping, and then pushing the muscle at that point. I also take a fish oil supplement.

Greg Rutherford

The DNA showed I have a level of endurance in me which I never really realised, which makes sense.
