Keely Hodgkinson dazzles on the track! 🥇 The 24-year-old British athlete is making waves once again, clinching the 800m gold at the World Athletics Indoor Championship in Poland. After missing over a year due to injury post her Olympic triumph in Paris 2024, Keely is back and better than ever, claiming she’s in the “shape of her life” and ready to dominate her sport.
Not only did she smash the competition with a time of 1min 55.3secs, setting a new bar for British women’s 800m champions, but she also left everyone in awe with her performance during the 4x400m relay. Despite not securing a team medal, Keely ran the quickest leg of the relay, showing off a blistering 50.1-second split. BBC’s Gabby Logan and track legend Steve Cram couldn’t help but sing her praises, calling her performance nothing short of “unbelievable.”
Keely’s success capped off a historic event for Team GB. Alongside her, Georgia Hunter Bell celebrated a first-world 1500m title, Molly Caudery excelled in pole vaulting, and Josh Kerr bagged gold in the men’s 3,000m.
Reflecting on her outstanding performances, Keely confidently stated, “When I’m in the shape of my life, why leave it to chance? If you’re going to beat me, I’ll make you work hard for it.”
Can’t wait to see what summer holds for Keely! 🌟
