STEPH Twell pictured in her moment of triumph as she wins the women’s 5000 metres at the British Athletics Championships in Birmingham last weekend.

It was a fifth British title for the Aldershot, Farnham & District athlete, who represents Scotland, as she held off Melissa Courtney in second and Eilish McColgan in third. With this victory, Twell qualifies for the European Championships in Berlin. Two years ago, she claimed European 5000 metres bronze in Amsterdam.

The 28-year-old AFD athlete and Olympian is now coached by former Scottish Athletics CEO and athlete turned commentator Geoff Wightman.
