What a race that was. If ever a crowd pulled someone over the line that was it. Ailish McColgan seemed to be hanging on when that last lap started but the crowd were tremendous on that last bend as she summoned the energy to bring home the gold medal just like her mother did all those years ago. Well done girl.
Great to see an athlete fight to the line. Normally they coast home and say to the reporter I was just glad to get my PB as I was carrying a knock.
A proud Scot cheered on by a fantastic crowd, the vast majority English. A truly great race. What a wonderful example of the benefits of a United Kingdom!
a brilliant performance! o/t - to date no failed drugs tests at the Games - excellent - hopefully all athletes are now 'clean.'
