Keely Hodgkinson lived up to her billing as pre-Olympic favourite by storming to an impressive gold in the women’s 800m, one of five medals won by Team GB on day 10 in Paris.
Hodgkinson produced a commanding performance to become the first British woman to win an Olympic 800m title since Dame Kelly Holmes in 2004, crossing the line in 1:56.72 to hold off a late push from Ethiopia’s Tsige Duguma.
The 22-year-old, who took silver in Tokyo and has also had to settle for second in back-to-back World Championships, grabbed the halfway lead and never relinquished top spot on her way to a career-defining victory.

Yes!!! I knew it! Finally, gold for Hodgkinson… She's been awesome this season.. Congratulations to her🎉🎊.,… much deserved.
we're not blind l,ove, show us the footage!!!
Who is this presenter… makes itnso obvious she is just reading from a prompt..
show us the race rather than this click bait, boring clap
Proud to be British 🎉 Hodgkinson just was a killer out there
Congratulations from a Dutchman to the GB team with the stunning performance of Hodgkinson. What a sublime race. I would think she is related to Femke Bol by the graceful way of running, the acceleration at the end and making it seem so effortlessly.
A video is worth a thousand words….too many words here.
Clutch win for the UK!! This win couldn't have come at a better time for UK right-wingers. The Triumph of British Will over Africans….wonderful optics!!
Seriously, & begging ypur pardon for that disgusting bit of Nazi humor, I really wish the UK the best….the country is going thru a very difficult time.
She did not lead from the gun! She took the lead around the 38s mark after about 300m into the race. Why are Sky saying these things that clearly are not true? Who does their research?
Congrats 👏🏽
WHITE QUEEN W 👑
