We're used to hearing about athletes achieving through sheer dedication to their sport - an unrelenting focus, solely on their event, which takes them to the top.
Well, Jazmin Sawyers isn't quite like that.
You may have watched the 22-year-old representing Team GB in the Olympic long jump final in Rio or claiming a silver medal in the event from the 2014 Commonwealth Games in Glasgow, but did you know she's also a talented musician?
After posting some cover videos on her own YouTube channel, Jazmin was asked to audition for the new series of The Voice, and was picked by judge Will.I.Am on Saturday's show.
Jazmin tells BBC Three how she manages to find time to train for international athletics competitions, while launching a career as a musician at the same time.
