Today I become the first female to commentate on athletics in an Olympic Games Stadium. It’s emotional. My Mum died last year after she decided some years ago my life choices weren’t to her liking. Our relationship ended. I wonder if today she is looking down & proud. I hope so.

.. one thing that has been interesting & slightly amusing these Games is how ‘nicely surprised’ and even shocked some people have been at how amazing Birmingham is & how brill the venues & set ups have been! X 🤷🏼‍♀️🤔 *like we don’t have good shizzle 😂 *at least now they know!

My summer was a set up to do a different role at all 3 major Championships. Stadium announcing at World Champs, Netball & Athletics TV Comms at B2022 & BBC 5Live Comms at Europeans .. and EVERY single one was a blast. I work with some brilliant people. But now some home time 🏡

When the 1993 World 100m champion catches up for the first time with the latest GB Men’s 100m medalist 🎉 .. the 1st medal for GB in this event for 20 years since my training partner Darren Campbell won bronze in 2003 🥰 Wonderful ..

I never forget the 18th March date. Today marks 35 years since this run in 1989 aged 14. My 7.35s 60m at Cosford is still one of my proudest moments. 🥰

So proud of @Iwanrunner ..it took him nearly 30 hours but he has completed his 100 mile challenge. In 30+ years of knowing him I’ve never seen him so broken and emotional .. and he has smashed his £15k target for @GBSSupport ... well done buddy ... ❤️🤩
