Josh Kerr and Georgia Hunter Bell are also among the medal contenders making up a strong British team in Poland

ue to a fault in their plane’s GPS, the British team for the world indoor championships arrived at their hotel in Torun late on Wednesday night. Perhaps they should have asked Keely Hodgkinson to guide them. After all, she knows this place better than most, and she is absolutely locked on reaching her target – a first world gold medal – in Poland this weekend.
“I’m looking forward to it and this last month has been great,” she says on the eve of the championships, which begin on Friday morning. “I couldn’t ask to be in a better position to be honest.”
It sometimes feels that Hodgkinson has been around for ever but she has only just turned 24. It was only five years ago this month that she burst on to the scene by crushing her rivals to win the European indoor championships in Torun.
