2002 Commonwealth Games Womens 5,000m Final (3 of 3)

I was there:-) They brought her medal ceremony forward so that the people who saw her win, could see her get her medal. Incredible atmosphere: 40,000 people going mental, and to see Jonathan Edwards win the triple jump too, holding European, Commonwealth, World & Olympic titles simultaneously. A fantastic, never to be forgotten, experience.
