Overview
- Hodgkinson's 800m title, achieved Sunday in 1:55.30, set a championship record and delivered her first world indoor gold.
- Minutes earlier, Georgia Hunter Bell won the 1500m in 3:58.53 for her first global title after returning to elite running in 2022.
- Molly Caudery cleared 4.85m to reclaim the pole vault crown, rebounding from a no-height at Paris 2024 and an injury that spoiled last year's worlds.
- Hodgkinson later anchored Britain's experimental 4x400m relay to fifth with the fastest split of the final at 50.10 seconds.
- Together with Josh Kerr's 3,000m win on Saturday, the results produced Britain's best World Indoor Championships and set the stage for Hodgkinson to chase Jarmila Kratochvilova's 1:53.28 outdoor 800m record this summer.
