KEELY BACK IN THE RUNNING TO GRAB GOLD

New physio key to her stunning return

- BY ALAN SMITH

KEELY HODGKINSON has enlisted the help of a physio who decides whether she can train after a year of injury frustration.

And the Olympic champion has proven the extra care has done her a world of good with Saturday's return in Silesia striking fear into the hearts of her rivals.

Hodgkinson clocked a world lead 1min 54.74sec when running from the front (right).

It was the ninth-fastest time ever, her second quickest race, and almost two seconds better than the previous 2025 best set by Ethiopia's Tsige Duguma in May.
