Things are all gearing up right now for the London Open in September and I'm enjoying being in full time training. The competition is basically a trial for the World Championships in Glasgow

Some of you won’t like me saying this, but I feel old! I know I’m only 22 but I’m diving so much and working so hard that my body is sore every day. I’m training for the World Aquatics Championship.

I'm really looking forward to it, I can’t wait to get to Rio. Obviously I've got to qualify first, like I say for every competition and take it step by step.

The Olympics in Rio is definitely where I want to be next year. There are lots of other events coming up but Rio is my main target and that’s why I’m training so hard... because it's all about Rio.

I can’t wait for Rio 2016! It’s come around so quickly – it feels like London 2012 was last week. But hopefully I’ll be in good shape next year, make that team and do everyone proud.

I was 18 when the Games were held in London and narrowly missed out on a place in the squad. It was disappointing being so close last time round, but there's nothing stopping me this time.

It’s only a year to go until the Olympics start, but there’s still plenty of work to do. We went to Rio earlier this year and it was fantastic. I'm really looking forward to getting in the pool out there.

ROAD TO RIO'S SALLY BROWN: It’s been a really tough couple of years for me, but I’m really hoping everything is going to come together in time for Rio next year.

BOB TREASURE: There have been some dark days for Becky James over the past year and a half. The double world champion cyclist last raced for Team GB at the World Championships in 2014.

Team camps can be tricky because you don't really think about it as a selection process, it just feels like a normal camp. You don't arrive thinking: 'I need to be better than that person or that guy'.

Max Whitlock has grown used to delivering on the biggest stage over the past four years but Britain's record-breaking gymnast admits he had to take a step back from the sport in order to refocus on Rio.

I’m feeling really good physically – my hamstring’s wicked! I hurt it last June in Birmingham but now it’s maybe even better than before the injury. There are no side effects and no scar tissue.

CHRIS MEARS: Rio has always been there driving me to train harder and to compete as well as I can. It’s really pushed me. Now it’s becoming less of a dream and more of a reality.

Everything’s been going really well and I’m getting ready to compete now in the next few weeks, which is exciting. I didn’t compete at all last year so I’m looking forward to getting back on the track.

I can’t wait to walk out in front of a stadium full of people in Rio feeling like I belong, there’s no better feeling than lining against the best in the world.

I don’t know if it’s because I’m playing out in Spain but Rio still feels quite far away. You kind of forget things over here but once we get back in camp with the British team it will all sink in.

I'm really looking forward to the Olympics - and it's crazy how quickly it's coming around - but at the moment I'm trying just to focus on the European Championships.

Training for the Olympic Games is going great off the back of a successful European Championships last month, it was important to make an impact there.
