Question

My name is Charlotte Dujardin. I'm an Olympic dressage champion (花式骑术冠军). What is my life like? You may wonder.

I'm one of those people who need their sleep. If I don't get enough, I can be pretty sleepy. I start riding by 7:30 am and I'm usually so tired from a day's training that my head is on the pillow by 9:30 pm. I'm like an old person. I've always been a deep sleeper; not even the thought of an Olympic final keeps me awake.

I work with a personal trainer who makes sure I follow a strict diet. The things I eat must provide enough energy for my daily training. For breakfast I have eggs and bread, a chicken wrap and salad for lunch, a healthy meal of meat and lots of vegetables for dinner, plus two snacks of nuts and fruit. On days off, like normal girls, I love ice-cream.

I often work seven days a week, riding from 7:30 am till 5 pm, then training at the gym. I also teach at the weekend but the days don't feel long because I love my job very much. I have a proper holiday once a year when I don't see a horse for 10 days: I need time to rest and relax.

My family is very supportive of what I do and always come to competitions. I miss my parents and other family members but balancing (平衡) my work with the relationship with them can be difficult as I'm away a lot.
