Read our privacy policy World Athletics president Lord Coe has backed Keely Hodgkinson to become a dominant force on the track. Hodgkinson won a stunning silver at the Tokyo Olympics and, with the World Championships in Hungary in August before next year’s Paris Olympics, Coe can see a path to glory. “I’m loathed to start predicting but you have to say that with a clear run and unencumbered period of training without injuries she’s got an outstanding chance in Paris in 2024. She didn’t like losing in the Commonwealth Games, but having got the European title under her belt is hugely important.” Coe also expects world champion Jake Wightman to handle the demands in 2023 following his shock 1500m victory in Eugene in July.
