Keely Hodgkinson smashes another record - in a different event!

The 19-year-old, who won 800m silver at the Olympic Games last month, was running in the 400m as a guest.

And she continued her imperious summer by obliterating her personal best.

Her time of 52.61 was more than a second quicker than her previous best of 53.73.

Not only was it the fastest GB junior time in 2021, it was the 10th best ever.

Indeed, only one European Under-20 athlete has run faster all season.

Hodgkinson – coached by Wigan’s Trevor Painter and his wife Jenny Meadows – last week moved up to second in the world rankings for 800m, her highest ever placing.
