Great Britain's Keely Hodgkinson celebrates winning the women's 800m at an indoor event in Poland

Great Britain’s Keely Hodgkinson set the fastest women’s indoor 800m time of the year at a meeting in Poland.

Olympic and world silver medallist Hodgkinson won her race in 1:57.87 at the Copernicus Cup in Torun.

“This track brings back some good memories,” said the 20-year-old, who won European indoor gold in Torun in 2021.

In January, Hodgkinson broke the women’s 600m world indoor record in Manchester.

Meanwhile, Ethiopia’s Gudaf Tsegay ran the second-fastest women’s indoor mile of all time at the meeting on Wednesday.

The 5,000m outdoor world champion posted 4:16.16.

Tsegay missed out on beating compatriot Genzebe Dibaba’s record of 4:13:31.
