Bell's late burst gives her bronze and personal best

WOMEN'S 1,500M

Yet at Stade de France last night the 30-year-old came from nowhere to produce the run of her life to win a stunning 1,500m bronze in a British record of 3:52.61, while Laura Muir (below) closed hard but left herself too much to do and finished fifth.

It was four seconds faster than Bell had ever run before – an exhibition in peaking when it matters most.

And she said: “I don’t know if I have ever been this happy. That was an absolutely crazy race.

“I just thought, if I was brave and just got stuck in then I could make something special happen. I am over the moon, an Olympic medallist.”
