Painful battle': Rose Harvey completed Olympic marathon with broken leg
Briefly

Rose Harvey completed the Paris Olympics women's marathon with a broken leg finishing 78th, determined to fulfill her dream and honor her support team.
Although I had stress fractured my femur, I didn't want to give up. I kept telling myself to smile and soak up the energy of the crowds.
In any other race, I would have stopped, yet despite the pain, I fought through 24 miles, which tested my resolve and passion for the Olympics.
I was so excited to show that I had what it takes to be part of Team GB and wanted to make everyone proud who helped me.
