Janine Beckie: An Olympic gold medallist... A childhood dream come true.

The Canada star enjoyed a summer to remember, savouring historic success for her country at the Tokyo Games.

Needless to say, the forward hailed the achievement as her career highlight in an interview with mancity.com upon her return to England.

She joked in September’s edition of the City Magazine the ‘hardware’ had not left her side since it was placed around her neck, following a thrilling penalty shoot-out Final triumph over Sweden.

Club Photographer Tom Flathers was treated to a glorious close-up look at the prestigious prize, capturing all of Janine’s joy and elation with a unique, fun photoshoot!
