Keely Hodgkinson finally has World, Olympic and European golds
Keely Hodgkinson claimed her first world indoor 800m title with an emphatic performance to clinch gold in Poland.
The Brit showed her dominance right from the gun, and eased away before storming down the final straight to clock 1:55.30, a championship record.
She has come close to World Championship gold previously, but fell short with silver in 2022 and 2023 before a bronze in 2025.
The achievement also caps off a dreamy indoor season for Hodgkinson following her world indoor record-breaking run in February.
This summer Hodgkinson will target the European Championships in Birmingham, but she has also made it clear she is looking to break the longest standing world record in athletics: the outdoor women’s 800m.
Hodgkinson’s training partner Georgia Hunter Bell also took gold for GB on Sunday, winning the 1500m earlier in the evening.
She ran a world leading time of 3:58.53 to take the win ahead of Australia’s Jessica Hull and America’s Nikki Hiltz after beating her team-mate, Hodgkinson, to silver in the 800m at the world championships last year.
Britain’s 2024 world indoor champion, Molly Caudery, also regained her title with 4.85m in the women’s pole vault after a painful two years that saw a string of serious injuries and no height measured at the Paris 2024 Olympics.
The three golds won within the space of one hour saw Great Britain’s medal tally triple and they currently stand at the top of the table with four golds.
