Well that's a rough way to open up, but she'll at least have a marker of her fitness after that. I wonder if she'll do the 400 at British champs on the 2nd just to get some racing under her belt before facing Duguma and Hunter-Bell. If Worlds was next week, Hunter-Bell would be my pick for gold in the 800.

Keely is now set to race the 800 in Silesia this weekend. It's a non-DL race and the field is solid, but not great - Nowe and Rogers are probably the main competition. She's scheduled for Lausanne a few days later where she'll face Moraa, Duguma, and Hunter-Bell. If Silesia doesn't go well, I wouldn't be surprised if she scratches that. But last year she came back from injury and dropped a 1:57 in her first race. Let's see where she's at

Is any broadcaster showing this none-DL race? Preferably in HD with a zoom function?
The producers have said that they will show a recording the 800m in main broadcast window.
bbc says they are going to start coverage early on their website and in iplayer:
As Hodgkinson's race is not part of the Diamond League programme in Silesia, it will be streamed live on BBC iPlayer and the BBC Sport website and app from 14:45 BST. Coverage of the Diamond League events will follow, also available on BBC Two from 15:00-17:00.

But why do they post stories on the BBC Sports website saying an event will be 'on the BBC Sports website' but without an actual link to it? takes ages to track the link down. It seems they only create the link once the show starts.
And it's weird. I follow her and many other runners in her track club (m11), and throughout the offseason she was in all the training clips. Then right before she is about hold her self-named Keely Classic, she pulls out with an injury. Then afterward, once again, she was in all the training clips. Then she suddenly pulls out of Stockholm Diamond League a couple days before the meet. Now she has silent pulled out of Pre but was in an m11 training clip running clip just a couple of days ago. Not sure what is going on.
