Keely Hodgkinson headlines 800m at Prefontaine Classic

Olympic 800m champion Keely Hodgkinson will compete at the Prefontaine Classic in Eugene, Oregon on July 4, aiming to challenge the world 800m record after setting a British record of 1:54.61 in Stockholm. She faces a strong field including world champion Lilian Odira and French record-holder Anaïs Bourgoin, with a second attempt planned at the London Diamond League on July 18. Hodgkinson's rivalry with Swiss athlete Audrey Werro has intensified after Werro ran 1:53.80 in Paris to claim the third-fastest 800m time in history.
