" If you start lifting weights, you will expect to put weight on, as muscle is heavier than fat. But you have to look more at your body shape – you will get heavier – but you might get smaller and heavier at the same time, which is fine. And it doesn’t really matter what you weigh as long as you are happy with your shape and size! " - Victoria Pendleton

" I’ve always been like this – insecure – because I’m striving for something that can’t be attained. I don’t just want to be OK at this: I want to be the best at it, and I’ve never achieved that in my mind. " - Victoria Pendleton

" As you get older, you get more accepting – although, if you asked me whose body I would want, I would say Jess Ennis’s at the Olympics. " - Victoria Pendleton

" There have been a lot of moments in my career when things haven’t gone to plan. " - Victoria Pendleton
