Hodgkinson's 2025 return delayed by injury setback
Olympic 800m champion Keely Hodgkinson has withdrawn from the Stockholm Diamond League due to a setback in her recovery from a hamstring injury. The 23-year-old, who missed the Keely Klassic in February because of the same issue, was set to make her 2025 competitive debut in Sweden. Hodgkinson's return has been delayed, impacting her scheduled appearance against rivals Tsige Duguma from Ethiopia and Mary Moraa from Kenya. Despite no set timeline for her return, Hodgkinson aims to compete at the World Championships in Tokyo in September after her gold-winning performance in Paris last summer.
