Keely Hodgkinson marked her 24th birthday on Tuesday with a bold fashion choice: a leather corset.
The runner shared beautiful photos on Instagram after a fancy dinner with friends.
Keely dined at the plush five-star L’ Artigiano and was surprised with a huge birthday balloon.
The Athletics superstar is snubbing this summer’s Commonwealth Games in Glasgow.
The Olympic 800m champion explained she’s trying to pace herself to avoid exhaustion, as the Scottish competition is only a week before the European Championships in Birmingham.
The English athlete believes winning three major international championships in a row is her top priority, even more important than competing in the Commonwealth Games. She’s widely expected to win her first world indoor championship in Poland this month.
Hodgkinson has confirmed she won’t be competing right now. While she enjoys competing in front of a home audience, this year is packed with the European championships and the World Indoor Championships, making it difficult to add more events.
I’ve won several championships in a single year before, which is a significant accomplishment. I had to carefully consider which one to focus on, but I’ll absolutely be cheering on and enjoying the others too.
Keely was voted BBC Sports Personality of the Year in 2024, continuing a trend of female winners – she followed Emma Raducanu, Beth Mead, and Mary Earps in receiving the award.
The athlete faced tough opponents following a busy year of major sporting events, including the Olympics and Paralympics in Paris, Wimbledon, the European Championship, and multiple World Cups.
The athlete won the title, finishing ahead of competitors including darts player Luke Littler, triathlete Alex Yee, footballer Jude Bellingham, para-cyclist Sarah Storey, and cricketer Joe Root.
The Olympic 800-meter champion had a remarkable year, winning gold at the Paris Olympics and successfully defending her European championship title.
She didn’t just win several medals; she also achieved a personal best, becoming the sixth-fastest woman ever and breaking the British record with a time of 1:54.61.
The Olympian admitted she was quite surprised to receive the award, which was presented by previous winners Sir Chris Hoy and Mary Earps.
Honestly, I’m even more thrilled for my coach! It’s been an amazing year for me overall, she shared.
‘I am so grateful to be in this position. I wish you all a wonderful evening, thank you so much!’
