Centre-back who made an emotional Olympic debut in the win over Japan says the players are determined to top their group
The 15-year-old Leah Williamson was sitting on a bench in the Olympic Park on Super Saturday as her Milton Keynes home town hero Greg Rutherford won gold in 2012. Nine years later she was standing in red, white and blue and singing the national anthem as she prepared to make her Olympic debut.
“I had to keep my eyes closed for the national anthem because I felt like I was going to cry,” she says. “I waited for the camera to pass and then got a bit teary.”
