This evening was Dame Denise Lewis' final show as part of the BBC's athletics coverage. A brilliant career, after a brilliant career. She will now take up a role as President of UK Athletics. Thank you for a wonderful 15 years, @RealDeniseLewis. ❤️ #Paris2024 #BBCOlympics

Shout out to Phil Healy, who ran a top race. Nobody really talked about her. She should be proud! @TeamIreland

@byrne_padraig Sophie Becker did wexford proud 👏
