Hodgkinson stamps authority in 800m race


LONDON: Keely Hodgkinson (pic) delivered an emphatic statement that she is the woman to beat in the Paris Olympic 800 metres when she took more than half a second off her own British record with a dominant 1:54.61 victory at the London Diamond League on Saturday.

A sellout crowd of 60,000, easily the largest on the circuit, were on their feet to acclaim a spectacular British 1-2-3 in the race – the last Diamond League event before Paris.
