Exciting news for athletics fans! Keely Hodgkinson, our Olympic 800m superstar, is switching things up and will be competing in the 400m for the first time at the big Rome Diamond League meet on 4th June. After a stunning performance at the World Indoor Championships, where she left jaws dropping with a remarkable 50.10 split in the 4x400m relay, Keely is ready to take on the one-lap challenge. Her exceptional speed has impressed the best in the business, leaving commentators like Steve Cram and Gabby Logan in awe.
Feeling fitter than ever, Keely is ready to dominate the track this season. She’s not shy about it either—Keely shared her confidence in hitting a “50-point” during her 400m debut, proving she’s got what it takes to break records.
Off the track, Keely has also been making waves as she stands strong on the possible return of the World Athletics Championships to London in 2029. She’s had a bit of fun with West Ham fans over their stance on hosting the event at the London Stadium. Her cheeky tweet cheekily pointed out that Team GB’s medal haul could eclipse West Ham’s trophy count!
Keen to unite sports fans, Keely has championed the idea of London hosting a global event again, highlighting how unforgettable it would be for athletes and fans alike.
With her fingers crossed for hosting rights and her focus set on smashing the 400m, Keely is definitely one to watch. Don’t miss her thrilling debut in Rome—it’s bound to be spectacular!
