On a social media post, Beth said: ‘I feel very proud of my journey in particular. From never getting close to making teams as a junior, to breaking through as a 24-year old – not often seen in sprints.

‘I’ve always been proud of my background – being born in Doncaster and having Scottish heritage. I hope I’ve managed to do both proud during my career.

‘There isn’t space to list the highs I’ve experienced. But breaking a 34-year-old Scottish Record, and doing so multiple times, holds a special place.

‘As does my British title and going on to represent my country at three Euros, two Worlds, a Commonwealth Games and an Olympics.
