Keely Hodgkinson made history in Paris, becoming the first British athlete to win Olympic gold at the 2024 Games – and the Manchester United fan should now have one dream realised as a result
Olympic champion Keely Hodgkinson looks set to receive a special honour from Manchester United after clinching gold in Paris.
The Atherton-born United fan made history as the first British competitor to win athletics gold at the Paris 2024 Olympics, where she dominated the women's 800 metres on Monday. And Hodgkinson - who has previously expressed her love for United and shares a close bond with team stalwart Ella Toone - has already disclosed the prize she can't wait to experience upon her return to Old Trafford.
Her winning time was recorded at 1:56.72, not quite reaching the personal best of 1:54:61 she set in London prior to the Games. The Manchester marvel couldn't contain her emotions as she realised the pinnacle of her career thus far.
