Listen to this article

The Dutch, French and Belgian Olympic teams boarded Eurostar trains earlier this week to head home following two weeks of spectacular Olympic success in London.

Medal winners making their way through St Pancras included gold medalist Marianne Vos, who beat Team GB’s Lizzie Armitstead to the top of the podium in the Woman’s Road Race and Dutch High Bar gold medal winner Epke Zonderland.

Mary Walsh, Eurostar director of communications, said: “We have had an extremely successful period during the Games, just like all the incredible Olympians we have had the honour of welcoming onto the Eurostar platform today.

“St Pancras has been awash with sports fans and athletes throughout the Games and it has been a tremendously exciting place to be. Since the arrival of the first French and Belgian teams three weeks ago, we have ensured the athletes have enjoyed smooth, stress free journeys into London and we hope they have thoroughly enjoyed their time here and everything that Great Britain has to offer.”
