Keely Hodgkinson wins 800m at Athlos, debuting new speed suit

Keely Hodgkinson secured victory in the 800m at Athlos in London, marking the culmination of her 2026 season. In her first race wearing a new full-length, hooded Nike speed suit, Hodgkinson finished with a time of 1:56.40. The event was notable for the absence of key rivals Audrey Werro and Femke Broeders-Bol, allowing Hodgkinson to defend her title without challenge. This race followed a particularly challenging season for Hodgkinson, who dealt with injury and illness in recent months. She has stated that she will take time off before competing again next year, where the rivalry with Werro and Broeders-Bol will continue.
