OLYMPIC 1500m bronze medallist Georgia Hunter Bell is ready to leave her “Parkrun-to-podium” narrative in the dust.
The 31-year-old took a five-year hiatus from sport, famously finding her way back into the fold of coaching pair Jenny Meadows and Trevor Painter, who also oversee Olympic 800m champion Keely Hodgkinson, after initially rediscovering running as a way to get out of the house during the Covid-19 pandemic.
Hunter Bell only left her job in software sales to become a full-time athlete in May, claiming bronze at the Paris Games just a few months later, and is now eyeing up her first major international title at this week’s European Indoor Championships.
