Great Britain's Keely Hodgkinson successfully defends her 800m title with a dominant victory at the European Athletics Championships in Rome.
Great Britain's Keely Hodgkinson successfully defended her 800m title with a dominant victory despite struggling with illness at the European Athletics Championships in Rome.
Following her victory, the Olympic and two-time world silver medallist revealed she had become unwell a day earlier."I wanted to go out and get a good time today but I'm happy with the win. I think I would have been disappointed if I didn’t try." It is Hodgkinson's second major title following success in Munich two years ago and comes before she targets a first global title at Paris 2024.
While she did not win by the margin perhaps expected - having run a world-leading time of 1:55.78 to beat world champion Mary Moraa in Eugene this year - Hodgkinson always appeared in control as she collected the eighth major medal of an already stunning senior career, which only started in 2021.
