Olympic bronze medallist Georgia Bell has spoken to GB News about the importance of Parkrun on its 20th anniversary.

Bell, who won her medal in the 1500m, credits the community jogging event for reigniting her passion for running after she had lost her way in the sport.

The 30-year-old, who has only recently been able to turn the sport into her full-time job, was at a loose end and described her body as being "broken", before rocking up to a Parkrun in Bushy Park and putting in a promising display.
