Olympic champion Keely Hodgkinson explains how a fall during a training run prevented a world record attempt.
According to The Guardian Sport, Olympic champion Keely Hodgkinson tripped and fell during a canal cooldown run, an incident her team likens to whiplash, which ruined her plans to chase the 800m world record this summer. She will run her final race of the season at the Athlos meeting in London on Friday, having returned last week from a hamstring tear sustained at the European Championships in August.
