Description

Keely Hodgkinson begins her bid for the inaugural World Athletics Ultimate Championship title in a high-quality 800 metres semi-final in Budapest, returning to major competition after a hamstring issue interrupted the final weeks of her outdoor season. With only the first four athletes advancing, there is little room for tactical error in a field drawn from one of the deepest women’s 800m seasons in history.
