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.
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!
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.
