Team GB's Keely Hodgkinson wins 800m gold

Category: Sports

Keely Hodgkinson won Team GB's first gold on the track since 2016 in the women's 800 metres at the Stade de France, becoming the first British woman to win the Olympic 800-metre title since 2004. Despite facing competition from Mary Moraa, Hodgkinson led the race and finished over a second ahead of her rivals. This victory marks the first major title of her career, following previous silvers at the Tokyo 2020 Olympics and world championships. Team GB looks forward to more potential successes, particularly with Josh Kerr competing in the men's 1500 metres final against Jakob Ingebrigtsen.
