Hodgkinson and Kerr Aim High in London | Manchester News

Keely Hodgkinson is back on track for the London Diamond League, aiming to bounce back from injury woes and shaky starts in the 800 meters—no world record pressure, just pure grit. Meanwhile, Josh Kerr is chasing history in the mile, targeting Hicham El Guerrouj’s 1999 record with confidence and a two-second personal best to beat. The meet also showcases British stars like Zharnel Hughes, Dina Asher-Smith, Amy Hunt, and Matthew Hudson-Smith, alongside legends Armand Duplantis and Emmanuel Wanyonyi. Hodgkinson’s journey has been rocky—hamstring twinges, knee issues, and a withdrawn training partner—but she’s ready to fight.
