Rose Harvey overcame the injury to complete the Paris Olympic marathon in a time of 2 hours 51.
A Team GB marathon runner completed the gruelling event at the Paris Olympics despite sustaining a broken leg during Sunday's race.
Harvey battled through the "agony" to finish 78th in a time of 2:51:03 in 24C heat. The Netherlands' Sifan Hassan took gold in an Olympic record time of 2:22:55. Despite treatment for her hip before the Olympics, the injury did not appear to be getting any better. Harvey says she now cannot put any weight through her leg at all so is not sure how she finished. But the athlete highlighted gaining "grit and resilience" from her training, having friends and family in France and the "incredible crowds" as helping her.
“But Rose also demonstrated exactly why she was picked, showing true Olympic spirit, resolve, determination, grit, huge amounts of resilience.”
