I've got to do Gotzis at least once.
I think I was in the most historical and golden era of track and field.
The heptathlon is made up of seven events, and people have strengths and weaknesses.
Thankfully, I found athletics. My mum didn't like it at first, but the funny thing is that, now, she's the biggest athletics fan out there. She's a real expert, and she's got all the heptathlon books.
I have always been small and one of the smallest heptathletes out there. And earlier in my career, I was faced with coaches and athletes who felt I was too small to be a multi-eventer. It gives you a push to show you can do it.
There's a big debate whether pentathlon or heptathlon is harder: five events in one day or seven in two.
In the heptathlon, you can be any shape. Some of the girls are more built than others, and their strong events are the shot put and javelin.
I think everyone in the heptathlon is improving together, so it is a very hard event to compete in.
I didn't even know what it was when I started. But I was lucky. I found it at 16. Most people don't discover decathlon until they're 21 or 22.
The heptathlon world record is nice, but the decathlon is the event. I think the heptathlon is more like a practice. There is something completely different about the decathlon.
The London games mark the 24th anniversary of my winning two golds and setting the world record in the heptathlon. Someone is going to want it; records are made to be broken - it's only a matter of time. I hope mine will outlive me.
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.
