GEORGIA HUNTER BELL insists she is getting used to her new role as favourite as she reclaimed her women’s 1500m indoor crown at the British Indoor Athletics Championships in Birmingham.

The 31-year-old successfully defended her title as she came home with a time of 4.13.23 in front of Revee Nolan-Walcott in second and Ellie Leather, who took bronze.

The Paris bronze-medal winner tracked the leaders all the way and turned on the afterburners as the bell rang for the final lap, passing Nolan-Walcott and storming down the home straight in front of the Birmingham crowd, a week after her personal best at the Keely Klassic.
