🏃♀️ Keely Hodgkinson: Running to Success, Not the Factory Line! 🏅
Ever wonder what an Olympian’s first job was? UK athlete Keely Hodgkinson spills the tea! Spoiler: It wasn’t your typical office gig. Keely took a spin working at her dad’s metal fabrications company, and she admits—it wasn’t quite her cup of tea. “Real labour, I did not enjoy it, it was horrible,” she shared with a chuckle.
But Keely’s heart has always been on the track. This year, she’s been dazzling the athletics world, bouncing back from a rocky start to win the 800m at London’s Diamond League. Despite missing the world record, she’s poised for the European Championships next. 🏆
With the Commonwealth Games behind her, she’s eyeing a busy schedule, balancing events and aiming for glory. Keely says, “I love competing in front of a home crowd, but it’s such a busy year.” Prioritising what matters, she’s ready to wow us all at the Europeans and Worlds!
Meanwhile, the London Diamond League also saw history made as Josh Kerr smashed the men’s mile record, set by Hicham El Guerrouj in 1999. Bravo, Josh! 👏
There’s no stopping our UK athletes as they continue to break records and chase dreams. Onwards and upwards, Keely! 🇬🇧✨
