Few British athletes at these Olympic Games have a more staggering or inspiring story than Georgia Bell. In 2017 she quit a promising track career because her body was broken. But in 2022 she started running again with a parkrun on a cold March day in Bushy Park, south-west London. And now, at the age of 30, she is an Olympic 1500m medallist.
To top it all, Bell did it while working full-time in cybersecurity. However the husband and wife coaching team behind her brilliant bronze in a British record of 3min 52.61sec believe this is just the start – and that Bell can emulate Kelly Holmes by winning gold in Los Angeles.
