Ignite Podcast S2 Ep1: Keely Hodgkinson

When Keely Hodgkinson steps onto the track inside Rome’s Olympic Stadium this summer, she’ll be carrying the weight and expectation of a nation on her shoulders.
The reigning 800 metre European champion is fully aware that she enters the arena with all eyes on her, but remains unfazed by what lies ahead.
But how did she get here? What are the challenges she faced? And who inspired the British athlete to lace up her running spikes once more after she gave up on athletics in her formative years?
This is Keely's story. In her words.

Surely, Keely's head and shoulders ahead of any European opposition. I will be interested to see how she runs the race. A practice run for the Olympics? BTW, if it's not really fast, I will be very disappointed.

Europeans are a formality for Keely. No disrespect to the other girls, but its how far she wins by. Tuning up for Paris.
