A teenage Olympic star from Greater Manchester was spotted on camera giving a very relatable outburst.
Keely Hodgkinson, from Atherton, was so stunned after she won silver medal the women’s 800m Final she blurted out ‘What the fuck?!’ live on TV.
The 19-year-old took home Team Great Britain’s first track medal of the Tokyo Olympics during her Games debut.
She also set a new British national record for the women’s 800m, completing it in 1 minute and 55.21 seconds and beating Kelly Holmes’ previous record – which was set six years before Hodgkinson was born.
And if that wasn’t enough, it was also the first time Team GB had won a medal in the race for 17 years.
Hodgkinson, who was in tears after the race, said that she’d left everything on the track as she spoke to BBC Sport.
She said: “I think it is just one of those things where you know something like that is possible but whether it comes out you just don’t know. It was such a good race.”
She also revealed she’d been speaking to Holmes, saying the runner was a legend and that she looked up to her, adding: “I have been speaking to her for the past couple of days and she is a lovely person”.
Holmes took to social media to congratulate Hodgkinson, jokingly saying that it was ‘about time’ someone broke her record.
Holmes added: “So pleased for her, Keely’s maturity as an athlete is phenomenal.”
Team USA took the gold and bronze medals in the event, with 19-year-old Athing Mu taking the top spot and Raevyn Rogers, 24, coming in third.
