Katarina Johnson-Thompson Zitate auf Englisch

Zitat des Tages von Katarina Johnson-Thompson:

You can only train three or four hours a day, so what do you do with the other 20 hours?

I can handle coming fifth as long as I know I've given my all out there and have no regrets.

Katarina Johnson-Thompson

An example of my average week would be the gym on Monday; Tuesday will be a technical session. I practice running and high jump on Thursday and then have another technical session at the weekend.

Katarina Johnson-Thompson

At primary school, it was always me and this other girl, Lauren, who would fight over who was the fastest every year. I was quicker, but for some reason, she always got the glory leg in the relay team. That used to annoy me.

Katarina Johnson-Thompson

I always have a book that I write during competition. I need it with me, just to read back and reflect and look forward. If I'm feeling anxious, it helps me.

Katarina Johnson-Thompson

Competing in London would be a dream come true.

Katarina Johnson-Thompson

You can only train three or four hours a day, so what do you do with the other 20 hours?

Katarina Johnson-Thompson

When there was a fight in school, because I was the tall one, the teachers would say, 'I know you were there. I could see you.'

Katarina Johnson-Thompson

It's very easy to run a good 200 m. after an appalling shot put.

Katarina Johnson-Thompson

Every international meeting or championship I do, I can cope a lot better because I can say I did the 100 m. hurdles, opened up the athletics at an Olympic Games in front of a home crowd, 80,000 people.

Katarina Johnson-Thompson

I want to win medals for myself.

Katarina Johnson-Thompson

It's what happens in other major championships - I just lose my head a little bit.

Katarina Johnson-Thompson

I'm going to trust my instincts when something's wrong.

Katarina Johnson-Thompson

Mum is the girliest of them all, but she ended up with me, the tomboy.

Katarina Johnson-Thompson

I used to keep injuries to myself. It would just make it worse and worse. Now I'm having none of that.

Katarina Johnson-Thompson

I don't want to be someone else.

Katarina Johnson-Thompson

I live with my mum and my nan. I think I will leave eventually, but not at the moment when they look after me so well. If you came to my house, they'd make you eat something.

Katarina Johnson-Thompson

You can be in the shape of your life, and then injury strikes. So you have to grab your opportunities.

Katarina Johnson-Thompson

I remember going down the tunnel into the Olympic Stadium and getting a glimpse of all the people and hearing all the noise, all the people shouting for us. I'd seen Usain Bolt on the warm-up track, and then, as I walked into the stadium, I sort of realised how big it was!

Katarina Johnson-Thompson

They're just my weaknesses. Everyone is just constantly talking to me about it. It doesn't help.

Katarina Johnson-Thompson

If something is mine, then I want to keep it.

Katarina Johnson-Thompson

I played a lot of football, and I was a goalkeeper, but I didn't really like playing in goal.

Katarina Johnson-Thompson

I'm very wholehearted. I want to concentrate on one thing in my life at one time.

Katarina Johnson-Thompson

I want people to tell me the truth.

Katarina Johnson-Thompson

I just need to concentrate on each event and accumulate a good score, and hopefully I won't flop in the 800 m. in Gotzis.

Katarina Johnson-Thompson

I'm trying my best.

Katarina Johnson-Thompson

The heptathlon is made up of seven events, and people have strengths and weaknesses.

Katarina Johnson-Thompson

For a long time, I thought it was all down to dedication, hard work, and visualising doing well - that worked for a bit, but then it stopped. I've realised you have to be more practical and mature to make things actually happen.

Katarina Johnson-Thompson

When I was a kid, I always had my hair in two plaits. But for dancing, I had to have it in a bun because I did ballet.

Katarina Johnson-Thompson

My goal is definitely a gold medal still in Rio.

Katarina Johnson-Thompson

I think I've slayed my long jump demons.

Katarina Johnson-Thompson

I used to play football with a load of lads, and I would be like a secret agent going out with a hat on so they wouldn't see my hair in a bun.

Katarina Johnson-Thompson

As a Liverpool fan, I'm an eternal optimist because of what we did in Istanbul in 2005.

Katarina Johnson-Thompson

It's impossible in heptathlon to have a proper rivalry - you're spending two days together and seven events and dedicate your life to it. It's like a marathon: two days of mental and physical exhaustion.

Katarina Johnson-Thompson

London 2012 was the biggest thing I will probably ever do, but I didn't realise it at the time!

Katarina Johnson-Thompson

It's a huge step up from the European Indoors to then being a gold medallist at the World Championships.

Katarina Johnson-Thompson

I got very addicted to performing. I just want to do that more.
