Keely Hodgkinson could end her career as one of the greatest athletes of all time, while the 17-year-old Australian sprinter Gout Gout is the real deal, Sebastian Coe has predicted on the eve of the world championships in Tokyo.

Coe won two Olympic 1500m gold medals, broke nine world records and has known most of track and field's biggest stars in the past 50 years. So his words carry extra weight, particularly when it comes to the 800m, the event in which he held the world record for 18 years.

When asked whether Hodgkinson, who took Olympic gold in Paris, could end her career as one of the greatest athletes Britain has produced, Coe was emphatic - and then went even further. "Yeah, she absolutely could," he replied.
