Keely Hodgkinson has dangled the intriguing possibility that July’s ÂLondon Diamond League Âmeeting could be the day where she takes down Jarmila Kratochvilova’s 42-year-old 800m world record.
The Olympic champion said she would wait until closer to the time before deciding whether to attempt to better the Czech’s time of 1min 53.28sec, the oldest track and field world record still standing.
