The athletics world stood still tonight as Great Britain’s Keely Hodgkinson didn't just step into the history books—she rewrote them. Competing at the World Indoor Tour Gold meeting in Liévin, France, the reigning Olympic champion delivered a performance for the ages, clocking a breathtaking 1:54.87 to break the women’s world indoor 800m record.

It is easy to forget just how much Anning has achieved in a short window. In 2024, she famously shattered Christine Ohuruogu’s long-standing British 400m record with a staggering 49.29 during the Olympic final in Paris. That performance, alongside two Olympic bronze medals in the relay events, cemented her status as the new face of British sprinting.
