I started doing sports when I was 13 and competitively doing sports - where I was actually training - when I was 17.

I definitely went through a period where I don't want to say I hated myself, but I hated what I saw in the mirror. I would try to cover it up, and it wasn't until I started doing sports - until after London 2012 - that I kind of started getting more of that confidence in my body and appreciating my body.

Sports were a way for me to get comfortable with my body. I learned to appreciate everything I could still do.
