Keely Hodgkinson will seek to prove she is still number one after a "tricky" outdoor season when she comes up against world-class rivals in pursuit of a third consecutive European 800m title in Birmingham. Olympic champion Hodgkinson, 24, has had much to celebrate in 2026, including breaking the long-standing indoor 800m world record, winning her first world title and improving her British record outdoors. "It was a British record, my fastest time ever, and I'm going to remind myself of that because I'm proud of that. "I had a tricky few weeks but, honestly, I just think it's really good that Audrey has come on really well and Femke is running well. It's going to be a really good race.
