The open ocean often takes you past your physical limits and when it does, sailing becomes a mental game.

You can do as many sprints as you want but there's nothing like playing in a 90-minute soccer game. There's no better way to gain your fitness, in my opinion, than playing in consistent games.

This is my last Commonwealth Games. Five CWG and nine medals, it is enough for me.

I think Lady Gaga is great and is changing pop music and bringing back a certain rock 'n' roll spirit, swagger to the game.
