Lizzie Armitstead

I had to find my own path, and in some ways, it's been a good thing.

It's not always about gold medals, I think. It has to be about development, and we are missing that in U.K. at the moment.

You've got all that 130 km. of being totally focused, and as soon as you cross the line, it takes a few seconds to realise what's happened.

A player cannot become a world champion overnight. To become a champion, a player has to sacrifice a lot and to devote much of his time practising and training.

If I ever did cross over I would like to do it tactfully. I don't want to offend anyone in country. Can you have the best of both worlds? I sure like the idea of it!

I always dreamed of writing in an orchestral context. But when you finish a piece, you want to hear it. So we played everything with Phish.
