MEDAL GURU

Restless Keely has golden opportunity to lift Brits

- CHARLIE BENNETT

KEELY HODGKINSON is ready to spearhead a late British charge up the medal table after breezing into the semifinals of the women's 800m.

The British squad have had a slow week in Tokyo, with just one silver medal so far coming courtesy of Jake Wightman in the mens 1500m.

Injury knocked out three of the best British bets in pole vaulter Molly Caudery, sprinter Matt Hudson-Smith and 1500m defending champ Josh Kerr.

It leaves them languishing joint-21st in the medal table - below the likes of Bahrain, Tanzania and Cuba.
