Olympic 1500m bronze medal winner Georgia Bell<\/a> said she is still undecided about whether to become a full-time athlete.<\/p>\n

The 30-year-old only returned to running three years ago having fallen out of love with the sport. <\/p>\n

Bell still works for a a cyber security software company in London.<\/p>\n

“I’ve been on a break over the summer to focus on the Olympics and the plan is to go back in September,” she said.<\/p>\n

“Work have been super-supportive and we’ll see what happens. I think it will be really difficult to balance both. So it’s something I’m going to think about.”<\/p>\n

Toby Roberts became the first Briton to win an Olympic medal in sports climbing after he dramatically took gold in the boulder and lead event in Paris.<\/p>\n

The 19-year-old said things had “been a bit of a blur” since and it still “feels surreal to have this medal round my neck right now”.<\/p>\n

He added: “I’ve always seen myself as a climber who loves competing and to be among all these great athletes in this environment feels like a dream really.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
