Campbell is one of Team GB’s stars, an engaging character who has spoken at length about body image and the impact it can have on young girls.
Her motto – “if you look good, you perform good” – was put into practice as she competed with red, white and blue weaved through her trademark buns, with the Olympic rings threaded through her hair at the back.
She lifted her opening weight of 117kg in the snatch with ease, went up to 119kg and then opted for 126kg on her third and final attempt.
Aided by massive British support in the crowd, Campbell roared in celebration after lifting the weight, which put her in third going into the clean and jerk.
She easily lifted her first attempt but failed at 169kg and then at 174kg, which would have moved her into second.
Campbell only took up the sport when she started university, having initially started it to improve her performance in shot put and the hammer throw.
In only six weeks she had achieved the national championship standard and made her senior debut at the 2018 World Championships.
She has won four straight European titles in this discipline and now has two Olympic medals to go with her Commonwealth title.
