I’m just in bits,” she said.
“I tried my hardest out there today and to be rewarded with a gold medal is honestly mind-blowing. I kept my cool today, kept it simple, and it worked. I’m over the moon. I’ve done my family and my boyfriend back home proud.
“I don’t think it’s registering right now what’s just happened.”
Alice Kinsella
Gymnast Alice helped Team GB to an unexpected bronze in the women's artistic team final.
The 20-year-old is the daughter of Colchester United legend Mark and granddaughter of U’s stalwart and former vice-chairman and director John Schultz.

Kinsella said: ."When we saw we'd come third we were speechless - I was on the floor, crying and everything.

"We've proved to (our critics) that we're able to do it and we've come away with a bronze."
Matt Coward-Holley
The 26-year-old former Felsted School student shot 33 of 40 in the final round of the men's trap shooting to take third place on his Olympic debut.
