I\u2019d love to look back on my career and say I did this many European Championships and I won this many medals. I don\u2019t want anything to go to waste.&#8221;<\/p><p>In her short career, <strong>Hodgkinson<\/strong> has already accrued 10 medals at major championships at senior, U23, U20 and U18 level. From her Olympic silver in Tokyo through to gold at the European Athletics U18 Championships in Gyor, Hungary. And she has her eyes on more European glory this year.\u00a0<\/p><p>&#8220;I also have a title to defend. This could be second outdoor, but also fourth European title including indoors (Torun 2021 and Istanbul 2023) and outdoors. So that\u2019s a really good aim for me now. It\u2019s a perfect amount of time away from the <strong>Olympics<\/strong> and good chance to get some rounds practice.&#8221;<\/p><p>Having not raced during the winter due to injury, she is now ultra keen to get back to the championship arena. &#8220;It comes at a good time for me,&#8221; she says. &#8220;I\u2019ve not done an indoor season, so I\u2019m fresh going into the outdoor season, a bit more mentally ready.

So, I am really excited to go to such as historical place and race.\u00a0<\/p><p>&#8220;I\u2019ve actually been to a lot of places in <strong>Italy<\/strong>, but not for racing. I\u2019ve been to Milan, I\u2019ve been to Verona. I\u2019ve been to Lake Garda, I have been to <strong>Rome<\/strong> before. But I was a baby, so it will be nice to experience it again and feel the culture.&#8221;<\/p><p>Two years ago <strong>Hodgkinson<\/strong> struck gold in Munich at the end of a hectic championships season for the young British runner.<\/p><p>&#8220;We\u2019d already had the World Championship and the <strong>Commonwealth Games<\/strong> &#8211; being British &#8211; so we were definitely the most run down out of everyone,&#8221; she recalls.\u00a0&#8220;But, I remember thinking I was annoyed I got silver at the Commonwealth Games &#8211; I thought I was going to win that day. So, I was like \u2018right, you\u2019ve got to win this one.\u2019<\/p><p>&#8220;Going into the<strong> final<\/strong>, I was quite excited. I really get up for a final. I think they are really fun. That\u2019s the stage where you can really showcase the best of you. I remember going into it and thinking I want to run it a bit differently.\u00a0<\/p><p>&#8220;It was automatic that people thought I would just go from the front \u2013 I could have run it that way \u2013 but I didn\u2019t want to be so predictable. I wanted to try another way. I sat down with (coaches) Jenny (<strong>Meadows<\/strong>) and Trevor (<strong>Painter<\/strong>) and said \u2018How would you feel if I just sat in the middle towards the back and let someone else take it?\u00a0<\/p><p>&#8220;I feel that might have thrown people off a little at the time. So, I did that, I sat in around fifth for the first lap and slowly worked by way forward and in the last <strong>200<\/strong> just went for it and it worked out fine.\u00a0<\/p><p>&#8220;I wanted to<strong> have some fun<\/strong> with it, finish off the season with something fun, a bit different, do something unexpected. Still coming away with the win, I think it\u2019s a good experience to go though, knowing that going forward, I can run it a few different ways.&#8221;<\/p><p>The women\u2019s 800m final takes place on <strong>Wednesday 12 June<\/strong> at the Stadio Olimpico.<\/p><p class=\"s3\"><em>Credit photo: Getty<\/em><\/p><\/div>\n        \t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-5a2b278 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"5a2b278\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-083bff1\" data-id=\"083bff1\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-75a5390 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"75a5390\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1698\" src=\"https:\/\/www.roma2024.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Hodgkinson2-scaled.jpeg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full wp-image-14396\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.roma2024.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Hodgkinson2-scaled.jpeg 2560w, https:\/\/www.roma2024.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Hodgkinson2-300x199.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.roma2024.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Hodgkinson2-1024x679.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/www.roma2024.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Hodgkinson2-768x509.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.roma2024.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Hodgkinson2-1536x1019.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/www.roma2024.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Hodgkinson2-2048x1358.jpeg 2048w, https:\/\/www.roma2024.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Hodgkinson2-400x265.jpeg 400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Il nome di Roma e uno dei simboli dell\u2019atletica in un unico disegno: \u00e8 da questa fusione che nasce la forza del nostro logo.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":14394,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[18],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-14402","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news-en"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Keely Hodgkinson eyes title defence in Roma 2024 - Roma 2024<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"An athlete&#039;s career is a short one and although she is still only 22, British 800m superstar Keely Hodgkinson doesn\u2019t want to waste a moment of it.It&#039;s part of the reason why she is committed to trying to defend her title in 50 days&#039;
