Briton wins second race in five days on injury comeback
Noah Lyles is beaten by Oblique Seville in men’s 100m
Keely Hodgkinson sent another ominous warning to her rivals before the World Athletics Championships next month as she smashed the meeting record to win the 800m at the Lausanne Diamond League.
In weather more akin to Manchester in October than a summer’s night in Switzerland, Hodgkinson ran 1min 55.69sec to beat a quality field by 10 metres and win her second race in five days.
True, the Olympic champion’s time was nearly a second outside her performance on Saturday in Poland, where she ran the ninth quickest in history. But in cool, wet conditions she still easily ran the second fastest time of the year.
