Keely Hodgkinson chose "domination" as her word for 2026 and backed it up with a maiden world title as she stormed to 800m gold in a championship record time on a glittering evening for Great Britain at the World Indoor Championships in Poland.

It capped off an astonishing half-an-hour for Britain in Torun, where Hodgkinson's training partner Georgia Hunter Bell secured her own first global gold in the 1500m, moments before Molly Caudery reclaimed the pole vault title she won two years ago in Glasgow.
