THE pictures that tell a thousand words of a night never to forget for Keely Hodgkinson and her growing army of adoring fans.

If she wasn't already, the 22-year-old from Atherton became a national treasure as she swept to glory in the women's 800m final at the Paris 2024 Olympic Games at Stade de France on Monday night.

It was a gold to add to the silvers from Tokyo 2020, the Commonwealth Games in Birmingham in 2022 and back-to-back world championships.

Check out our gallery above paying tribute to some wonderful moments during and after the golden wonder's race.
