Keely Hodgkinson
Keely Hodgkinson is a British middle-distance runner and the reigning Olympic champion in the women's 800m. At just 22 years old, she has already made a significant impact on the athletics world, drawing attention for her competitive spirit and remarkable performances. Unfortunately, she recently suffered a hamstring injury that forced her to withdraw from a world record attempt at the inaugural Keely Klassic event in Birmingham, as well as the upcoming European indoor championships. Despite this setback, Hodgkinson remains committed to supporting her fellow athletes and inspiring the next generation of track and field competitors.
