Keely Hodgkinson missed the World Indoor last year due to injury. She has just announced her plan to compete at the European Athletics Indoors on March 2-5, 2023 in Istanbul, Turkey. Keely just ran the world’s fastest 600m by a woman indoors over the weekend, a 1:23.41! That surely shows that the young Briton is ready to roll!

Keely to European Indoor
MANCHESTER (GBR): Fresh from breaking the world indoor 600m best, Keely Hodgkinson will endeavour to defend her 800m title at the European Indoor Championships in Istanbul, informs BBC Sport. “It’ll be my first senior title to try and defend. I’ll be 21 while I’m out there so it’d be a nice birthday present,” she said.
