The Bearsden athlete transformed her Olympic experience from Rio 2016 to take home bronze this morning in Paris for Team GB.
Beth Potter has come a long way from the athlete who morosely sipped cocktails from a coconut on the Copacabana eight years ago.
When she kicked for home Potter and silver medallist, Switzerland's Julie Derron, simply had no response as she streaked into the distance. "I've come a long way in eight years and I really feel like I did this for me and for those who believed in what I was doing switching sports. The men's race was already delayed 24 hours and Potter and team-mates Georgia Taylor-Brown, who finished sixth, and Kate Waugh went to bed last night not knowing whether they'd race in the morning.
