It has taken Keely Hodgkinson little more than five weeks to catapult herself from promising junior to international recognition.
Fresh from becoming the first British woman to break a world under-20 record since Zola Budd 36 years ago, Hodgkinson on Sunday became Britain’s youngest European indoor champion for more than 50 years with a dominant front-running display to win 800 metres gold just four days after her 19th birthday.

Four days after her 19th birthday, Great Britain’s Keely Hodgkinson claimed gold in the 800m at the European Indoor Championships in Torun, Poland.
Hodgkinson surged to the front just 200m into the race and held off her more experienced rivals to cross the line in two minutes 3.88 seconds, with fellow Britons Ellie Baker and Isabelle Boffey finishing fourth and sixth, respectively. She is the second-youngest British athlete to win a gold at the Indoors, after Marilyn Neufville, who was 17 when she won gold in the 400m in 1970.

With a trophy cabinet containing multiple world and European 800 metres medals, Jenny Meadows knows more than most what it takes to be a top middle-distance runner. So when Meadows identifies someone as capable of running faster than Kelly Holmes - a double Olympic champion and the quickest 800m runner in British history - it is worth taking notice.
