Olympic 800m champ Keely Hodgkinson isn’t one to back down! After her playful jab at West Ham over their refusal to vacate London Stadium for the World Athletics Championships, Keely has sparked quite the reaction online. West Ham fans weren’t thrilled, but Keely’s sticking to her guns. 🏆 She believes having the event in London would be monumental for athletics, especially since she didn’t expect the opportunity during her career.
The heart of the drama? West Ham, with their long-term lease, are declining to step aside for the proposed September event. Keely’s cheeky comment, “The GB team will bring back more medals than West Ham ever have,” definitely stirred the pot! But she’s followed up more seriously, arguing it seems silly for football to overshadow such a historic athletics event.
“This global championship back in London? Incredible! The stadium would be packed every day, and it’s not just about rent and money, but about unforgettable moments,” she shared.
While the London stadium battle continues, rival cities like Rome, Munich, and Nairobi also have their eyes on hosting the exciting event. Fingers crossed a solution is found! 🤞✨
Do you think London should host the championships again, or should West Ham stand firm? Share your thoughts!
