OLYMPIC MEDALIST ✨ Champions don't show up to get everything they want, they show up to give everything they have! I gave everything I had, I wish it was more, i wish it was golden, but it was a massive honour to get another Olympic Medal for myself and for @teamgb 🇬🇧 pic.twitter.com/AOLlWCMXXT — Bianca Walkden TKD (@BiancaW_tkd) July 27, 2021

So no medal this year. It was always going to be tough. Congrats to Primoz, Tom and Rohan 👏 But every Olympics is special, and to compete here for GB after the last 18 months everyone has lived through was an honour. Time to get home to the family and then come back fighting 👍 pic.twitter.com/tCF2Wz2MV4 — Geraint Thomas (@GeraintThomas86) July 28, 2021
