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 kid is something precious, and you want to protect it and keep it fun. I'm not a dad, but I've seen people and how they behave with their kids.

What distresses me at times is that I meet a lot of people in their 40's, 50's, 60's, who still say they're a victim of child abuse.
