'Back with a bang!' - Hodgkinson wins 800m in world lead
Great Britain's Keely Hodgkinson set an 800m world lead in her first race since winning gold at the Paris Olympics.
The 23-year-old returned to action in Silesia for the first time in 376 days in emphatic fashion.
Hodgkinson, whose return from the hamstring injury she sustained in February has been delayed by setbacks, set a new meeting record of 1:54.74 to finish well clear of Kenya's Lilian Odira and Botswana's Oratile Nowe.
The Briton's time was her second-fastest ever - and the fastest by any runner since her victory in the 800m final at Paris 2024.
