Keely Nicole Hodgkinson (born 3 March 2002)[4][5] is an English athlete specialising in the 800 metres. At the age of 19, she won a silver medal at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, breaking the British record set by Kelly Holmes in 1995. Both Hodgkinson's Tokyo result and her junior indoor mark, which was the first British women's world under-20 record for 36 years, are European U20 records, making her at 800m the fourth-fastest and the second-fastest under-20 woman of all time respectively.[6][7] In 2021, she became the Diamond League champion, and the youngest ever women's 800m European indoor champion as well as the second-youngest British holder of the European Athletics Indoor Championships title.[8]

At 10, Hodgkinson already had an unbeaten streak of 14 straight running events. She holds her club's 11 individual girls' records over distances from 60 metres to one mile in different age categories. Having to pause in 2015, she took her first gold at the England Championships in 2017, competing at 800m in the under-17 category. In 2018, the 16-year-old became in her specialist event European U18 champion, and won England's U20 title. A year later, Hodgkinson took a bronze at the European U20 Championships.

Early life[]

Keely Hodgkinson, who was born on 3 March 2002, comes from Atherton near Leigh and Wigan in Greater Manchester. She has three siblings.[9] Her mother Rachel trained for some time with Leigh Harriers while her father Dean had run the London Marathon in the past.[10][2] She joined Leigh Harriers at the age of nine, but initially trained swimming with Howe Bridge Aces before devoting herself fully to running.[11][12]

She attended Atherton's St. Philip’s CE Primary School, Fred Longworth High School in Tyldesley, and Loughborough College.[13][14][15] In 2020, Hodgkinson became a student of criminology with psychology at the Leeds Beckett University, taking a gap year in 2021.[2][16]

At the age of 10, Keely Hodgkinson preferred swimming to running but competed in both, swimming with Howe Bridge Aces and running for Leigh Harriers. Ranked 15th, she went among 70 finalists into the 2012 British Schools Modern Biathlon Championships held in the Crystal Palace centre in London. She finished second in the 500 metres run with a personal best of 1m 34.28s and also set a best of 37.02 seconds in the 50m swim to take the eighth place overall.[13] Her father advised her to run, and she was inspired by British heptathlete Jessica Ennis-Hill winning a gold medal at the 2012 London Olympics.[17][12]

The next year, in 2013, Hodgkinson already had an unbeaten streak of 14 consecutive running events, despite running the whole 14th race without the lost shoe. It was the one-mile cross country course by winning in which she became the first Leigh Harriers girl to win the individual under-11 title in both the South East Lancashire League and the Red Rose League.[18] About two weeks later, she ran her 16th undefeated race winning 2000 metres with the lead of 45 seconds.[19] In her first ever fell race in Horwich, climbing Rivington Pike over the distance of 2.2 km with a climb of 140 metres in the under-12 category, she finished fourth running in flats.[20] She became Greater Manchester County champion at both the 800 metres and 1200 metres.[4]

In 2014, the 12-year-old won all her five 800m, three 1200m and five 1500 metres races as well as many cross country competitions.[4] Running in the under-13 girls category, she took her third Greater Manchester title at the Cross Country Championships, and then defended her 800m and 1200m titles at the Track and Field Championships, breaking both her club and championship records – the latter of which had stood since 1985.[21][22] In the British U13 girls category, she achieved the season's fourth-fastest time at the 1500m and the fifth-fastest at the 800m , with bests of 4m 47.6s and 2m 20.01s respectively. Hodgkinson's 2014 1200m best of 3m 43.2s in this age group was bettered only in 2019, remaining, as of August 2021, the second-fastest on the Great Britain's all-time list.[4]

As a teenager, she set many Leigh Harriers' records. Besides her 2012 under-11 60m best, Hodgkinson held, as of August 2021, five club's under-13 girls records (300m, 600m, 800m, 1200m, 1500m), two under-15 girls records (800m, one mile), and four under-17 ladies records (300m, 400m, 800m, 1500m).[23]

In 2015, she had to severely limit training and starts due to a mastoidectomy surgery to remove a tumour on her ear, which has left her 95% deaf in this ear.[2]

Aged 14, she finished third in the 2016's 800m under-15 events at the English Schools' Championships, and at the England Championships, clocking 2:13.08 and a best of 2m 12.53s respectively. Around that period she began to specialise at this distance although still running at many cross country competitions.[4][24][2] In 2017, running in the age-17 800m races, Hodgkinson came in fourth at the English Schools' Championships, and took her first gold medal at the England Championships setting new personal best time of 2m 6.85s.[5] She added the 1500m UK School Games title.[25]

Youth career[]

In June 2018, at 16, Hodgkinson became in her specialist 800m event under-20 England Champion with a time of 2:04.41.[26] That same year in July, she powered to a gold medal at the European U18 Championships held in Győr, Hungary, finishing way ahead of the field in 2:04.84 and breaking the championship record in the process.[27][2] In August, she added titles at the England U17 Championships running 2:09.38, and at the UK School Games with a competition record of 2:04.89.[5][28] Her 2018 personal best of 2m 4.26s stands, as of August 2021, as the fifth-fastest on the British under-17 all-time list and the fastest since 2011.[4] On 12 October, Wigan Borough Council named Hodgkinson Sports Achiever of the Year, selecting her among ten other athletes for its Believe Talent Fund.[29][30]

Her 2019 season was without stronger progression as, after having shin problems for most of the winter, the 17-year-old placed second at the age-20 event of the England Championships clocking 2:05.77, and took a bronze medal at the European U20 Championships held in Borås, Sweden setting, however, new best of 2m 3.40s.[31][32] Her two years older team-mate, Isabelle Boffey, finished first in 2:02.92 and Hodgkinson lost a silver medal to Switzerland's Delia Sclabas by just 0.04 s.[33][34]

Junior career[]

2020[]

On 1 February, still 17, Hodgkinson set a European under-20 800m indoor record in a time of 2m 1.16s to win the event at the Vienna Indoor Track & Field competition in Austria. She broke the long-standing 1981 Kirsty Wade's British U20 record of 2:02.88, and a 2015 Aníta Hinriksdóttir's European U20 mark by exactly 0.4 seconds, missing a world under-20 record by just 0.14 s.[35][36] The same month, she went on to take a senior gold medal at the British Indoor Championships clocking 2:04.37.[5] In August, she won two A class Gold Standard races at the British Milers’ Club meets in Manchester achieving in her outdoor debut PB of 2:02.85, and then lowered her best down to 2:01.78 at the end of the month to finish second at the World Athletics Continental Tour Bronze meeting in Gothenburg, Sweden.[37][38][39] In September, Hodgkinson claimed also British senior 800m outdoor title at the British Championships with a time of 2:03.24 to become the youngest winner since 1974.[40][2] She clocked new lifetime best of 2m 1.73s when ending season also in September at the Continental Tour Silver meet in Rovereto, Italy.[41]

2021[]

2021 began with a first British women's world under-20 record for 36 years. On 30 January, still 18-year-old Keely Hodgkinson returned, in an unplanned way, for the second year in a row to the Vienna Indoor Track & Field meet. She finally broke 2004 Meskerem Legesse's mark, lowering it by exactly 2 seconds in a time of 1m 59.03s – her first sub 2 minutes result as the first U20 woman in history to break two minutes in the indoor 800m.[35][42] Previous British track & field WU20 record was set in 1985 by South Africa's Zola Budd, who competed internationally for the UK in 1985 and 1986.[43] Hodgkinson's record, however, stood for less than a month before being improved upon by her chief rival and age-mate, USA's Athing Mu, with her time of 1:58.40, making Hodgkinson's record a European one.

On her senior major championship debut, four days after her 19th birthday on 7 March, Hodgkinson became the youngest British winner at the European Athletics Indoor Championships for more than half a century and the youngest ever 800m European indoor champion clocking 2:03.88 in Toruń, Poland. Only Marilyn Neufville had been a younger UK gold medallist when winning the 400 metres in 1970 at the age of 17, and Hodgkinson was younger than fellow Briton Jane Colebrook, who became youngest European 800m champion at the time in 1977.[44][8][45]

In her second outdoor competition of the season, on 19 May, she went for the first time under 2 minutes outdoors and broke by almost a second the UK's long-standing junior record of Charlotte Moore in a time of 1m 58.89s, winning 800m at the Golden Spike meet in Ostrava, Czech Republic, a part of the Continental Tour Gold series.[46] While not the fastest European U20 women's result, officially it was also European junior record, breaking 1988 Birte Bruhns' mark of 1:59.17.[47] At the end of June, she defended her British title at the national championships which doubled up as the Olympic trial event, sealing a place on the Great Britain's Olympic team. She clocked 1:59.61 outsprinting experienced Scottish runners duo Jemma Reekie and Laura Muir in the final 100 metres with a second lap in 57.5s.[48][49][50] A week later on 4 July, Hodgkinson further lowered her PB by almost 1.4 seconds to 1m 57.51s, finishing fourth at the Diamond League meet in Stockholm. She became the second-fastest European U20 woman and the third-fastest UK woman of all time at the event, setting the British U23 record.[51][52]

At the delayed 2020 Tokyo Games on 3 August, Hodgkinson won silver medal, taking almost two seconds off her previous personal best and almost six seconds off her pre-2021 PB with a time of one minute 55.88 seconds. She smashed 1978 Hildegard Körner's European under-20 best result of 1:57.45 and 1995 Kelly Holmes' British senior record of 1:56.21, becoming world's fastest junior woman at 800m since 2009 except for Athing Mu and the fourth-fastest under-20 woman of all time.[53][54][55] Known for her finish, she was sixth at the bell and moved from fourth into second after turning for the final straight, finishing behind only Mu who ran 1:55.21. Raevyn Rogers in third was almost one second slower with 1:56.81, but all top five and the seventh woman set their lifetime bests. For the first time in history three women from Britain competed in the Olympic final, with Jemma Reekie narrowly missing out on bronze and Alex Bell placing seventh.[56][57]

In her first post-Olympic race, she came fifth at the Diamond League USA's Eugene Prefontaine Classic in 1:58.30, and then second at the Brussels Memorial Van Damme in 1:58.16 (narrowly losing by 0.07 s to Natoya Goule due to a wider run on the final bend) to end the season in a strong way with a victory and a 1:57.98 performance at the Zürich Weltklasse circuit final, winning the 800m Diamond trophy and wildcard entry into 2022 World Championships in Eugene.[5][58][59]

Great Britain's Team skipped the 2021 World U20 Championships held in Nairobi, Kenya in late August. The women's 800m winning time was there 2:02.96.

For her 2021 season Hodgkinson was awarded by British Athletics Writers' Association Cliff Temple Award for British Female Athlete of the Year, British Athletics Supporters Club named her Athlete of the Year, and readers of Athletics Weekly voted her both the British Rising Star and British Female Athlete of the Year.[60][61][62][63][64] She was also one of the nominees for both World Athletics and European Athletics Female Rising Star Award.[65][66]

2021 funding[]

At least until 2021 Tokyo Summer Olympics, Hodgkinson was not funded by UK Athletics as the organisation, possibly due to the COVID-19 pandemic, did not add anyone onto its World Class Performance Programme in 2020. She was backed by businessman Barrie Wells, who had previously helped fund 20 athletes to the 2012 London Summer Games; he matched her £15,000 a year Lottery funding. Hodgkinson is one of Wells Trust's athlete ambassadors.[70][71] In October 2021, it was announced that she has been provided top-level funding on British Athletics Olympic podium programme.[72]
