When the Queen said she was a fan of her, Nicola Adams realized the extent of her trailblazing fame.The Olympic flyweight champion has planned to make the most of it, too, with feature roles in Game of Thrones and The Walking Dead on her agenda. After the small matter of the Rio Olympics and, possibly, Tokyo 2020, of course.It has been a whirlwind really, going to music award shows, movie premieres, TV shows, meeting the Queen, receiving my MBE in 2013, traveling halfway across the world with the [former] prime minister [David Cameron], Adams said.Its quite hard to put into words but I think Ive managed to stay grounded and keep the training going and winning medals.The one that came close to winning the Olympic gold medal was receiving my MBE from the Queen. She was saying good luck to me and wishing me continued support.She did say she was a big boxing fan and that she was looking forward to seeing me in Rio, so I guess I had to qualify. No pressure. On Her Majestys orders.The 33-year-old, who has been described as one of Britains most influential figures in the gay community, is not ruling out boxing at a third Olympics.Beyond the ring, the cheerful Adams admitted she wants to launch an acting career after parts as an extra in British soap operas before London 2012.Tokyo is on the cards, maybe turning professional as well, a bit of acting, but I need to get Rio done first, she said.Im thinking more The Walking Dead, Game of Thrones. And I dont just want cameos as Nicola Adams, I want to be the star. I used to do extra work on Coronation Street ?and Emmerdale and I wanted to take it further, but training got in the way.Flyweight gold at Rio 2016 would make Adams Britains first double Olympic boxing champion and that historic mark has been a significant motivation.She has already enjoyed becoming the first woman to win a Commonwealth Games boxing gold medal -- at Glasgow 2014 -- and last year won gold at the World Amateur Championships.Lofty post-boxing ambitions have not proved a distraction, and the Leeds-born Adams claimed she would arrive in the ring at the Rio Games in top shape.Ive improved since 2012, in everything, she said. My strength, my fitness, my technique, my speed.Thats the thing with boxing, youre never the finished article, there is always bits you can improve on, you can always be that much more rounded as a fighter technically, that little bit stronger or faster.At some point, time will be against me, [but] this is my peak, I feel as strong as I ever have. I won the Europeans this year, the World Championships this year, now I want to hopefully go on and win the Olympics.Its my passion, I love the sport and the thought that pretty much every time I step in the ring now, I make history, gives me that much more inspiration.To be able to complete the grand slam of titles, weve never had anybody in boxing do that before, male or female, so its nice to be able to go along and make some history and show everybody how great British boxing really is.

St Kilda veteran Leigh Montagna believes the time might be right for teammate Nick Riewoldt to hand the Saints AFL captaincy to a younger player next season.Riewoldt, 33, has captained the club for 212 of his 311 AFL games, joining Footscray legend Ted Whitten in equal-third on the all-time list of matches as a captain at the weekend.The star forward recently signed a new one-year deal to play on next season and could overtake Carltons Stephen Kernahan (226 games) as the longest-serving skipper in history if he stays in the role.It will be interesting to see what happens next year with him ... I (dont) think thats been decided yet, Montagna told Sevens Game Day on Sunday.I probably think its been in the works for a couple of years that there will be a handover, a succession, and it might be next year.That will be a discussion between Nick and the club, but I think Nick would probably like to hand it over at some stage.Weve needed him over the last few years but I think now as the group starts to mature a little bit more we can probably hand over that baton while Nick still plays.Monttagna cited Jarryn Geary and David Armitage, both 28-year-olds, as possible candidates for the job, with Jack Steven (26) or Jack Newnes (23) good options if the club wants to go for a younger captain.dddddddddddd.Montagna is confident the Saints next onfield leader will take over a team on the up, which he feels is a good chance to be further bolstered by off-season acquisitions.Were certainly in a position now to be able to go and get some more key players from other clubs and lure some free agents, he said.I think were more of an attractive proposition than we were a few years ago.Certainly were playing much better football and we can see that finals are closer than they were a few years ago (and) the move back to Moorabbin will help entice some players from other clubs.Hopefully we can lure a big name whether it is a Dion Prestia or a Jaeger OMeara (both from Gold Coast) or (Brisbanes) Tom Rockliff ... someone like that will certainly add to the team.
