Athletics: Keely Hodgkinson confirms fitness ahead of 2026 Prefontaine Classic after UK Championships scare - “I wasn't willing to risk it”

British middle-distance runner Keely Hodgkinson has confirmed she is fit and ready to compete at the 2026 Prefontaine Classic after suffering a health scare at the UK Championships. The Olympic champion had withdrawn from the domestic competition as a precautionary measure, unwilling to risk aggravating the issue. Hodgkinson's cautious approach appears to have paid off, with the 800m star now cleared to return to action at one of the world's most prestigious track and field meetings.
