Victoria Pendleton
It’s a real compliment, joining the Uniquely campaign. It’s nice to have people find out who I am and what I’ve achieved. I like the glamorous side of it too - I am still a girl, after all. I love doing sport and competing, but it's a man's world. It's tough being around alpha males who tend to have very strong personalities, so it’s nice to do something feminine for a change. Quite a lot of girls in sport are tomboyish, but I’ve got nothing to prove. I'm just going to be a girl and try my best.
