FLASH QUOTES FROM KEELY:

"That was absolutely incredible.

"I've worked so hard over the last year and you could see how much it meant to me as I crossed the line.

"I can't believe I've finally done it. It means so much to me. And to do it here, where better?.

"The audience was absolutely incredible, it felt like a home crowd to me. So I'm super happy.

"I had a cheeky look at the screen just to make sure but you can't do anything until you cross that line.

"I'm now the Olympic champion for the next four years and nobody can take that away from me.

"I feel like I've really grown over the last couple of years and this year is the year I've really tried to make that step up.

"The other girls are incredible. I knew to cross that line first I had to go one better than I ever had. I'm just so pleased to do it today. The future is bright.

"I'm super happy to bring it home for everyone. It's not just me, it's a whole team effort and they know who they are. This is our gold medal."
