Keely Hodgkinson's true feelings slip after World Athletics chief called out her behaviour

British middle-distance runner Keely Hodgkinson, 24, has opened up about the personal sacrifices she makes to compete at the highest level, after World Athletics chief Seb Coe praised her authenticity. Coe spotted Hodgkinson briefly celebrating her birthday shortly after she broke the world indoor record and just days before she won the World Indoor Championship gold. Coe described her as the most 'authentic person I currently know,' highlighting her grounded northern England roots and down-to-earth character despite her elite status.
