Keely Hodgkinson: Team GB gold medallist sets sights on 800m women’s world record
Olympic 1500m bronze medal winner Georgia Bell said she is still undecided about whether to become a full-time athlete.
The 30-year-old only returned to running three years ago having fallen out of love with the sport.
Bell still works for a a cyber security software company in London.
“I’ve been on a break over the summer to focus on the Olympics and the plan is to go back in September,” she said.
“Work have been super-supportive and we’ll see what happens. I think it will be really difficult to balance both. So it’s something I’m going to think about.”
Toby Roberts became the first Briton to win an Olympic medal in sports climbing after he dramatically took gold in the boulder and lead event in Paris.
The 19-year-old said things had “been a bit of a blur” since and it still “feels surreal to have this medal round my neck right now”.
He added: “I’ve always seen myself as a climber who loves competing and to be among all these great athletes in this environment feels like a dream really.”
