Keely Hodgkinson ready for 'battle of world records' at London Diamond League

Olympic 800m champion Keely Hodgkinson, 24, has expressed her desire to break the long-standing women's 800m world record at the London Diamond League in July, describing the event as a potential 'battle of world records.' The British athlete will return to London Stadium for the first time since her British-record run ahead of her Paris 2024 Olympic gold medal. Despite an injury-disrupted 2025 season, Hodgkinson reports she has not missed a single training session during what she describes as her best winter of preparation.
