NATASHA JONAS
Boxing
1. Which sport would you most like front-row tickets for at London 2012?
The heptathlon with Jessica Ennis or the 100m sprint final. Usain Bolt and Jess Ennis are two of my idols and I think they are great ambassadors for their sports.
2. What is the most important thing that sport has taught you?
The most important thing that sport has taught me is definitely that when one door closes another one opens.
3. What’s been the most embarrassing moment you’ve had in your sporting career?
I went into the ring once, took my head guard off and I realised my earrings were still in. I asked my male coach to take them out and you’d think I’d asked him to perform brain surgery! He couldn’t get them out for ages and I was like, just pull it, just pull it!
4. Who is your sporting hero, and if you could ask them one question, what would it be?
My boxing hero is Manny Pacquiao but I have no idea what I would ask him!
5. If you could have a super power, what would it be?
I would love to be invisible and I’d go everywhere!
