BMX Beth's parent's 'blown away' by Olympic gold

The parents of Olympian Beth Shriever are "over the moon" after she won a gold medal at Tokyo 2020.

Shriever, from Finchingfield in Essex, took first place in the women's BMX racing final, holding off two-time champion Mariana Pajon.

"I'm just totally blown away by the event and how it played out. It's just incredible," dad Paul Shriever told ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Look East.

Even though his daughter's success came at 04:45 BST, it did not stop former Oasis singer Liam Gallagher showing his new-found love for the BMX rider.

He tweeted: "Bethany Shriever what a ledge well done LG x".
