Born in the year of the Wood Ox and on the day of Yin Metal, this 22 year old is a strong Metal lady who needs the elements of Water and Wood for balance - and in Chinese metaphysics balance is exactly what we try to achieve.

Jones who cites Sam Riley as her hero will be racing in her third Olympics, and it may well be her final thrust to hold another coveted gold.

According to Chinese astrology, along with the support generated by the Year of the Water Rat, she will also be buoyed by the day of the Yin Water Pig. This makes it an even better day for her to compete and so whether it is bronze, silver or gold - we could well see her on the medal podium.
