The Bearsden athlete ran the final leg to ensure Team GB finished on the podium
Beth Potter bagged Britain’s triathlon stars a battling Olympic bronze as they were dramatically downgraded from silver on a manic Monday morning in Paris.
But moments later, word spread that the Americans had pipped them in heart-thumping photo finish as Britain, defending champions in this innovative new event from Tokyo, ended up with bronze. “The efforts that Beth put in that last leg were pretty heroic. It was an amazing day overall for us and one hell of a spectacle.”
Dickinson delivered a solid third leg and despite Potter inheriting a five-second lead for the finale, she was soon reeled in by Knibb and German Laura Lindemann on the cycle.
