And maybe that's being the third child, although my entire family are very resilient - very, very resilient.

I believe I have lots of time. I have to believe that, that it won't come back, and that that's why I'm in good hands. But I also do live my life by putting nothing off.

And yet, I suppose you mourn the loss or the death of what you thought your life was, even if you find your life is better after. You mourn the future that you thought you'd planned.

I'm also doing constant book readings, movies. You name it, I'm doing it.

I don't put off any time with my grandchildren. I don't put off a thing.

I don't want marriage. You know why? Because I did that. I did it for 32 years.

What Olympians eat can vary tremendously depending not only on the events they're competing in, but also their body type and lifestyle outside the Olympic arena.
