Keely Hodgkinson reveals an MRI scan uncovered a split hamstring abnormality
According to BBC Sport, Olympic champion Keely Hodgkinson said an MRI revealed a split hamstring with two tendons instead of one. She described how the anomaly allows running when one tendon is torn but may increase risk of further breakdowns, and noted changes to her training after a recent hamstring tear at the European Championships in Birmingham and a second-place finish to Audrey Werro at the World Athletics Ultimate Championship in Budapest in September.
