Long performance hours, tiring travel schedules, strict time restraints and a need for sharp attention to detail - the lives of DJs and professional athletes may be more similar than you think.

Can you tell who said the following lines: Superstar DJ or Olympic Athlete?

Let the games begin...

1. "I have... only a very short amount of time allotted for regeneration, but I managed to adapt and stay reasonably fit — both physically and mentally.”

2. ‘If it’s hands in the air all the time, you will wear out too quickly and will not last the distance."

3. “It never feels as effortless as it looks."

4. “You’re only as good as the connections you make and the speed with which you make them... Sometimes you have seconds to make a good decision."

5. “We have to be physically and mentally prepared for a long running and do it only in places where we are specially connected..."

6. “As you get older, I think you get more fearful of what can and can’t happen. And when you’re younger, you just go out and have fun.”

7. "I don't even really get tired that much, I just train my body."

8. “Remember to have fun. When I’m smiling and having fun, I perform the best."

9. "The biggest thing right now that I'm looking forward to is kicking back, relaxing and just not doing anything. Not having to go anywhere at a certain time."

10. "When one person is doing more than the other [...] is when it becomes all wrong."
