Keely Hodgkinson has broken the long-standing women’s indoor 800m world record, set by Slovenia’s Jolanda Ceplak on the day the Briton was born almost 24 years ago.
Olympic champion Hodgkinson crossed the line in one minute 54.87 seconds in Lievin, France, taking almost one second off Ceplak’s time of 1:55.82 which had endured since 3 March 2002.
