Keely Hodgkinson crowned 800m queen of New York by Serena Williams
Olympic champion ends injury-hampered season on high
World silver medallist Georgia Hunter Bell takes second
Keely Hodgkinson won the 800m to end her injury-hampered season on a high at New York’s all-female Athlos meeting. Britain’s Olympic champion outclassed the field in her signature event, finishing in 1:56.53 in only her sixth race this season after missing several months of competition due to injury earlier this year.
Fellow Briton and world silver medallist Georgia Hunter Bell took second in 1:58.33 on Friday night before a thronging Icahn Stadium. St Vincent’s Shafiqua Maloney (1:58.57) was third.
