Did anyone watch her race this evening? I’m in absolute floods of tears watching her win. No idea why really. The crowds were screaming so loud, never heard the like. She was so brave and didn’t give up, such grit and determination. Well done that lady.

Amazing isn't it? I still remember her as the baby being held by her mother.

I saw it too, I thought she was going to fade at the line but she dug in, it was inspiring! ???????

Fantastic performance.

Lovely to see her her mum again - where did 30-odd years go!
