Keely Hodgkinson: Olympic gold medalist pulls out of UK Athletics Championships 400m final as precaution

Keely Hodgkinson, the 24-year-old Olympic 800m champion, withdrew from the 400m final at the UK Athletics Championships as a precautionary measure. She had been competing at the shorter distance to improve her first-lap speed ahead of an 800m world record attempt at the London Diamond League meeting, just four weeks away. Hodgkinson had qualified from the heats on Saturday before pulling out moments before the final was set to begin.
