Keely Hodgkinson misses rest of 2024 athletics season with unspecified injury

Keely Hodgkinson’s season has been ended by injury less than three weeks after she became the Olympic 800m champion. The 22-year-old Briton, whose victory in Paris was the most watched event of the Games on terrestrial television in the UK, had been due to compete in September’s Diamond League meetings.
“No more races for me!! Unfortunately I picked up a small injury, but we achieved everything I had hoped to do this year, thank you for all the love and support!! See you on the track next year,” she posted on Instagram.
Hodgkinson, who won all nine of her 800m races this year, returned from France and immediately set her sights on breaking the world record of 1min 53.28sec which has stood since 1983.
However, that will have to wait until next year, when the British record holder will also be looking at improving on her two silver medals at previous editions of the world championships when Tokyo hosts the event in September.
