- The moment a national hero became an Olympic legend. Kelly Holmes had already won 800m gold at Athens 2004 just days before lining up in the 1500m final.
Not since Albert Hill in 1920, had a Brit won two athletics gold medals in the same Olympic Games

This lady had so many set backs in her career, and yet her pure determination to succeed and accomplish her dreams is an inspiration to all , I remember screaming at the telly “GO KELLY GO YOU CAN DO IT “ a sporting moment I shall never forget, a true British legend
She gave me chills in the 800 too. Phenomenal!!
iconic - the arms punching in the last 100, like she's finishing a 200 metres, sprint form in a 1500, patience, race plan, perseverance, courage, grace... Kelly Holmes - one of my heroes.
I will honestly never tire of watching this race. When ability, tactics & form all align, magic happens ❤️
Nothing makes me more proud to be British than when I watch Dame Kelly's double.
Every day of the week ! !
She was an incredible competitor. So many disappointments and near-misses but she never gave up.

I was a teenager during the 2004 Olympics and Kelly became and still is one of my Team GB Heros. What an amazing achievement it was to win 2 golds, I think Kelly inspired the current generation of female athletes and gave them the self- belief that they too can achieve their dreams.
I watch Kelly's double gold moments all the time, some of my favourite moments in GB Olympic history 😊❤
She was truly world class, starting at the back and having the confidence to go past every single athlete.
I come back to watch Kelly's Golds every so often, she had bad injury issues before 2004 and I remember she wasnt expected to do well. Those Golds were earned the hard way, what a legend she is.
Kelly Holmes coming from near the back to win in the last 300m is still one of the most incredible things I've seen in athletics.
I remember it like it was yesterday. I was at a neighbour's house, on my feet, pulling my hair out shouting, ''There isn't f***ing time! There isn't f***ing time! THERE ISN'T F***ING TIME! I don't believe it! I don't BELIEVE it! I DON'T BELIIIEEVE IT!!!!'
I was so pleased for her because she had been on the end of so many hard luck stories throughout her career with injuries etc, well done Kelly, you showed whats possible if you never give up.
I adore Kelly Holmes. I was 12 at the time and I thought she was amazing, I still do! I did athletics for years and she was a real inspiration. What an achievement
Yes Kelly! I remember screaming at the tv for this and the 800m race. What a performance.
It takes massive talent to win this double. Just amazing...
This is my favorite race to watch, she is such a hero of mine,. I watch it this every time i race and I'm not even fast or anything; it's just so inspiring watching her focus at the start and kick in the last lap
Pure Genius..best 1500m race ive ever watched.I remember celebrating that night in awe of this race Legend.My inspiration.
Waoh!! I love this lady very much.I was reading a story on BBC and decided to storm the youtube on her victories in Athens 2004.What an inspiration👏🏽👏🏽
Kelly was a brilliant tactician. Once one physically becomes a top athlete that's only 90% of the training. The brain also has to go through intense training. One of our (nameless) finest lady middle distance runners could learn so much from Kelly.
Love Kelly Holmes
Love love love
Never tire of watching this! Brilliant running.
I love Kelly Holmes! 2 perfect races.
Dame Kelly Holmes is an athletics legend without a doubt.
Kelly was always top class but her injuries always prevented her from realising it - until 2004.
Dame Kelly Holmes, a legend
Who doesn't love dame Kelly Holmes, battled on until she got a gold, then another one for good luck
Along with Klammers downhill in 76 and Hemerys in 68, one of the great Olympic performances....
An absolute classic, and so much more exciting without commentary!
Nice to see it without commentary. The pictures seem so much stronger!
LEGEND. LEGEND. LEGEND.
RIP Maria Cioncan 🇷🇴 She was so hapoy for her medal and she had such a tragic destiny.
Thank you for uploading all the videos!
The roar for her was amazing!!!!
Love love love
beautiful race
Tactical master!!
Incredible
I'm gonna say it the seven dislikes are the other contestants.
I once walked behind Kelly along a long corridor. She was wearing a dress. I was amazed how thin her ankles were and wondered how they could support her never mind propel her to two gold medals.
Incredible! Managed to develop a kick finish, late in her career when she never had one before!
Hopefully from Kelly to Keely from a GB perspective.
Not quite the same without the fabulous Cram commentary on BBC! What an athlete though!
My fav
What a dame!
Honestly what a bunch of sore losers! No one was congratulating her or anything! She did incredible x❤
Why no commentary:(
Game face or what
Where’s Steve Cram and Brendon Fraser’s commentary? Not the same without it
Change the title…DAME KELLY HOLMES
SO I HAVE A SMALL IMAGE OF A FEW DAYS AGO BY A HERD OF GOD'S GREAT GOATS AND OCTOPUSES
These videos need commentary, badly
that 2nd place girl did not look happy . even on the podium
She was russian & the drugs were not good enough

The woman that won bronze though looked so proud and happy such a tragedy what happened to her 😢😢
Summer Olympics. 1904 USA. Sent Louis. Men's marathon. The first officially recorded use of doping at the Olympic Games, US athlete Thomas Hicks, was doped twice during the race by his coach, and he managed to cross the finish line and become Olympic champion.
