European Athletics Championships: Georgia Bell takes home 1500m silver

Georgia Bell won the women's 1500m silver in the European Athletics Championships.

She spoke to 5 Live Breakfast about the race and her β€œwhirlwind” of a year.

β€œI just dug deep in the last hundred metres and yeah, I was really happy to come away with a medal.”

Georgia said she started the year β€œunranked and unsponsored” and has achieved a lot after taking several years out of sport. She’s now a sponsored athlete with a European silver under her belt.

The Brit took a sabbatical over the summer to focus on running.

β€œWhen I was at the start line, I was just like, I could be having the Sunday scaries at work.”
