She could still do the 1500m and get a medal, she deserves all the praise.

Ping Pong Boy

FANTASTIC! I'm sure Kelly will medal in the 1500m. How amazing would it be if she got double gold.

I hope Paula takes some inspiration and comes back and runs in the 10,000m.

PPB.

Nessie

Fantastic run from Kelly. What a star.

I was screaming at the telly.

Dr Nic Twinks

They just had a great interview with her on the beeb, she looked so so happy - good on her!! great stuff!! Wonder how she'll get on in the next one..?

Studs Ramrod

Fantastic piece of running. Didn't wory about anybody else. Just did her own thing and ran at her own pace ready to strike at the end.

RunRabbit RunRabbit

Kelly ran brilliantly.

I sooooooooooooooooooo hope she succeeds in her next race.

She's looking really good and fit!

Minks

What a great run - so confident to feel able to stay at the back of the pack until the time was just right for her to make her move ... great tactic to come out wide just before the home straight and prevent Benhassi and Ceplak from passing her. Was so pleased for her - she's been unlucky with injury so many times in the past and this really was her last chance to go for gold - and she rose to the occasion with great guts and determination.

Go Kelly!

After an awful Sunday great to see such a gutsy, brave, first class performance, no one deserves an olympic gold medal more than her. She's got to be the front runner so far for the sports personality of the year!

Well Plodster, Pinsent went out quickly in that contest, but may struggle to hold off the even-paced Kelly in the home straight.

[Deleted User]

It certainly looks like a 2 horse race at the moment - but it's only August!

[Deleted User]

True Plodster, Becks could yet score the winner in the last minute of an England friendly against the Cook Islands before Christmas and run away with it.

not so zippy

Amazing run from Kelly. Very strong, great tactics and very very well done.

AnD her face going through the emotions before she was sure she'd got GOLD - priceless. Comedy TV!!

Helegant

I was cheering, laughing and crying all at the same time. What a race. And she did it again tonight. What class.

Nessie

I think she is capable of doing the double. What a run last night!
