Olympic champion Keely Hodgkinson overcame significant travel disruption to secure her spot in the 800m final at the World Indoor Championships.
Upon arriving in Torun, Poland, Hodgkinson lost her luggage for nearly two days. Forced to train without her personal kit or supplements, she borrowed spikes from a local athlete.
The British star qualified comfortably Saturday, clocking one minute, 58.53 seconds. Her luggage arrived before the first round. This appearance follows three previous missed events due to injury, marking an emotional return for the 24-year-old.
