Athletics: Women’s 800m Final

As a seasoned athlete and a British running legend with a long and successful career, I have had the privilege of witnessing and participating in numerous championships and competitions. The upcoming World Athletics Championships is no exception, and I am eagerly anticipating the women’s 800m race. With the unfortunate absence of reigning Olympic champion Athing Mu due to an injury sustained during the US trials, the field is wide open for new talents to rise.


As a movie buff, I’d rephrase it like this: I’ve got my eyes on Keely Hodgkinson to bring home the gold for Great Britain at the upcoming race. With defending Olympic champion Athing Mu sitting this one out due to an injury during the US trials, there’s a golden opportunity for Keely. World champion Mary Moraa is also a formidable contender, so it’s too early to place my bets. My hopes are with Keely and Jemma Reekie for another GB medal. But let me tell you, I was blown away by Phoebe Gill at the UK Championships. She’s just 17 years old and already giving the seasoned runners a run for their money. Don’t count her out!
