On this day in 2020 I covered the English Schools XC in Liverpool and nervously travelled home as the Covid pandemic was unfolding. People were still shaking hands at the event but days later we went into lockdown. Good luck to the class of 2026 today! athleticsweekly.com/news/meetings/…

Lots of talk about the ‘new’ two turn stagger, but let’s not forget that @sebcoe 1:44.91i WR set in 1983, was with a two turn stagger.

@TimHutchings1 @keelyhodgkinson I agree the hare was a bit too fast/enthusiastic during the first 200/400m. My PB is 1:54.0 but when it comes to splits I just remember an official shouting "55... 56...!" as I went through the bell!

My old coach Frank Horwill believed at 800, a roughly 2 sec 1st 400 to 2nd 400 differential was ideal. In her Lievin 800 WR, @keelyhodgkinson's halves of 56.01/58.86, had a near 3 secs differential, mainly due to poor pacing. That extra second imbalance is about what it cost her.

Well, it went pretty damn well, eh? Fabulous WR for @keelyhodgkinson , & clearly it could have been significantly faster if the pacing had been better..! Maybe Keely should trust her own pace judgement, as when she's alone her free-flowing style is irresistible & SO potent!

Brutal early pace in Lievin – 200m 26.47, 400m 55.56 and 600m 85.06 before clocking 1:54.87 as Keely Hodgkinson smashes Jolanda Ceplak's world indoor 800m record by a second. As she said this week, breaking this record was her destiny. Magnifique!

How higher jumper Joel Clarke-Khan came back from the brink of retirement. After winning the UK indoor title in Birmingham, the 26-year-old credits his fiancée Molly Caudery with helping to keep him in the sport. ✍️ @Jason_AW athleticsweekly.com/news/high-jump…

"I was shivering because of the crowd cheering for Graf, but I kept telling myself, if I die, I die. I gave it all I had as I understood I was getting close to the world record." – Jolanda Čeplak after her 1:55.82 world indoor 800m record in 2002. athleticsweekly.com/news/meetings/…

When Keely Hodgkinson takes to the track in Lievin on Thursday, it's perhaps not so much a case of whether the Olympic champion can break the 1:55.82 world indoor 800m record but how fast can she actually go? athleticsweekly.com/news/keely-hod…

I was in Vienna in 2002 reporting for @AthleticsWeekly when Jolanda Ceplak & Stephanie Graf both beat Christine Wachtel's world indoor 800m record. Surreal to think Keely Hodgkinson was born on the same day & looks destined to beat the record this week. athleticsweekly.com/news/meetings/…

Keely Hodgkinson's splits en route to her 1:56.33 British record were 27.35, 56.28 (quicker than Femke Bol's pacemaker in Metz last week) and 86.11. She has earned a $5000 for the performance at the UK Indoor Champs.

@Lawton_Times Keely will be the same age Kelly Holmes was when she won double gold in Athens. Outside athletics, imagine the beach volleyball under the shadow of Blackpool Tower! 🏖️

Good 800m debut from Femke Bol with a 1:59.07 win in Metz but a shame Gabriela Gajanová was a late withdrawal due to illness as she would have provided a bigger test. The Slovak record-holder is a 1:58 runner and was runner-up to Keely Hodgkinson at the 2024 European Champs.

@AndyRenfree Crikey - and here's me feeling sorry for myself because I can't quite break 20min for 5km these days. Hope you make a good and full recovery, Andy! That's a scary story and shows how fragile our health is.

Eilish McColgan reclaims the European 10km record in Valencia with 30:07 (TBC). Andreas Almgren also improves his own Euro men's record to 26:44 as the Spanish city once again serves up some sizzling times.
