At the 20 August Lausanne Diamond League meeting, Olympic 800m champion Keely Hodgkinson will make her long-awaited injury-free return.
Since breaking a hamstring in February to win gold in Paris last August, the 23-year-old Briton hasn’t competed.
Hodgkinson will make her comeback just one month before the start of the World Athletics Championship in Tokyo following a minor setback that caused her to withdraw from Diamond League meetings in Stockholm and London.
Third time is a charm, I say! She responded to an Instagram post about her return from the event organizers.
Hodgkinson is aiming to return to top form just in time for the Worlds in September, where she will compete for the silver medals she won in 2022 and 2023.
On her way back to Switzerland, the British 800m record holder will face compatriots Jemma Reekie and Georgia Hunter Bell, who won in Hodgkinson’s absence in London.
The 13th of 15 events in the Diamond League this year take place in Lausanne.
