WHY SHOULD THE PUBLIC WATCH TAEKWONDO: With the rules changing a lot more people are kicking to the head which makes the games more exiting to watch. Someone can be losing by quite a lot of points but the other player can bring it back through head shots.

IF SOMEONE GAVE YOU £1 MILLION, WHAT WOULD YOU DO WITH IT: Would give a share to my family as they have helped me throughout the years. Buy a nice house and car and then probably shop shop shop for silly things

SOMETHING YOU DIDN'T KNOW ABOUT SOPHIE Dickson: I want to be named after my second name not my first.
