clean sweep across all the middle

distance events from the 800 meters to

the 10,000. So, they are an incredibly

Kelly Holmes did the double Olympic over

would be extremely difficult but at the

moment, yeah, we're just keeping all

moment yeah we're just keeping all

options open. Now, Georgia, I dare say

options open Now Georgia I dare say

you might be expecting my next question

because you may well remember I used to

work with your dad, Andy Bell. Of

work with your dad Andy Bell Of

course. Yes. I I didn't want to draw

course Yes I I didn't want to draw

attention to it, but it would be rude

not to because

it used to be the case that his proudest

achievement was working with me. Not

achievement was working with me Not

anymore, of course. Now, now now you are

anymore of course Now now now you are

his proudest achievement and and your

sisters, of course. But I did take to

sisters of course But I did take to

WhatsApp to say, "Come on, Andy, give me

WhatsApp to say Come on Andy give me

a little bit of an inside tack here on

anything I can ask Georgia." uh being

anything I can ask Georgia uh being

the pro, he said, "You can ask." And

the pro he said You can ask And

that's all that's all he gave me. That's

that's all that's all he gave me That's

all he gave. What I did what I did ask

all he gave What I did what I did ask

and I spoke to your mom and dad after

the Olympics last year and they were so

proud. Everybody knows Andy is so proud

But I did say, "Look, has Georgia been

practicing her dip for the line because

that seemed to be key." And that's what

that seemed to be key And that's what

he said you can ask. So I'm asking.

he said you can ask So I'm asking

Yeah, absolutely. I mean, if you look at

Yeah absolutely I mean if you look at

the World Championships events, then

the World Championships events then

every race pretty much came down to a

dip. I mean the men's marathon after

dip I mean the men's marathon after

hours of racing was separated by 0.03 of

hours of racing was separated by 003 of

a second. So it just goes to show how

a second So it just goes to show how

small those margins are at the top. And

small those margins are at the top And

um last year in Paris especially I was

rooming with some of the sprinters and

asked them how do you do the best dip

because it's really important for their

race. So I you are thinking about that

race So I you are thinking about that

as you get to the closing stages and you

can see how tight it's going to be. So,

can see how tight it's going to be So

it definitely did cross my mind and

yeah, practicing for the dip is just as

yeah practicing for the dip is just as

important, I think, as practicing for

important I think as practicing for

all of the reps.

Uh, George, I wanted to to ask you your

Uh George I wanted to to ask you your

opinion on, you know, we hear a lot

opinion on you know we hear a lot

about girls dropping out of sport,

about girls dropping out of sport

particularly at the, you know, teenage

particularly at the you know teenage

years. What would be your message, you

years What would be your message you

know, that silver medal at the World

Championships about sticking with it,

Championships about sticking with it

about not giving up?

about not giving up

Yeah, it's in a subject that's quite

Yeah it's in a subject that's quite

important to me because I did drop out

of sport for about five years. I just

of sport for about five years I just

thought that I was kind of never going

to be my best and went into the working

world, but then got back into it and

world but then got back into it and

have managed to get Olympic medals. And

have managed to get Olympic medals And

I just think how many other young girls

are there out there in the UK that could

be future Olympians, but they drop out

be future Olympians but they drop out

of sport for whatever reason. And I

of sport for whatever reason And I

think the main thing is they just need

to be practicing sport in a healthy and

safe environment. So just making sure

safe environment So just making sure

that you're training around people in

good teams at running clubs where you

feel motivated and safe is the main

thing. So anything that people can do to

thing So anything that people can do to

foster those environments is just so

important.
