The story of how Great Britain's Keely Hodgkinson claimed the Olympic 800m title at Paris 2024 to end her wait for a global title.
Those were the words Keely Hodgkinson promised to herself as she walked off the track in Budapest 12 months ago.
In 2021 it was hands-on-head astonishment. Just 19 years old, at her first global championship, the Tokyo Olympics offered an opportunity which may not have presented itself had the Games not been postponed by the Covid-19 pandemic. "The future is bright. I'm super happy to bring it home for everyone. It's not just me, it's a whole team effort and they know who they are. This is our gold medal."Hodgkinson was a keen swimmer as a child until, she says, her dad bribed her with a new pair of running shoes.
Still progressing as a junior, Hodgkinson likely would not have even made it to Tokyo had the Games not been delayed. The 'big three' have dominated recent global podiums, but until Monday Hodgkinson was the only one still yet to triumph.
