Seems unlikely that Keely Hodgkinson will be running in Worlds at this point.

    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.

    That press release I’m pretty sure is from May 1, so we’ll see. If she skips London too, it’s time to get concerned.

    Yeah she's been in the training clips all year but the obvious priority has been fashion and partying. That's why I haven't been surprised every time she backs out of a meet.

    seriously though, how are you meant to follow women's athletics if the big names, mu, keely, scr, dont run half the time?

    I know Laura Muir had a calf injury earlier this year but she's been MIA as well.

    Unfair to lump KH in with those 2. She ran anything and everything for 4 years straight, and now she has an injury. They happen.

    I would appreciate some more transparency though, just a proper idea of how likely London DL in a few weeks time, Tokyo etc realistically are for her this season. Are we talking 80%, 20% ??

    Should be easy enough to convey via social media.

    NBC Hollywood should get rid of WC and have yearly permanent Summer Olympics and Winter Outdoor T&F/XC at permanent venues in LA.

    I hear you but as an athlete, you don’t want to get in the mind set of there’s 60% chance I run x meet. They are just going to focus on doing everything they can to get healthy and figure things out as they progress. No point in creating a self fulfilling prophecy of not competing.

    re: briguy

    Fair enough, I realise putting a number on something like that is difficult.

    I think I meant more in terms of where she is with her training. Is she in full training? Is she not able to run at all? Did she withdraw from these races purely out of caution and just needing a little more time, or because she literally can't ? There are vast chasms between those and I genuinely have no idea where she sits currently.

    The silence suggests it's more the latter than the former, but some kind of generic statement giving a broad idea of the situation would be appreciated, as I'm sure I'm not alone in wondering what's going on.

    Could be a whereabouts litigation review and/or sampling issue. We've seen this before.

    She's made her name, got the gold, and can now concentrate on punditry and TV commitments.

    Hasn't she stated she doesn't even like running?

    Keely spends so much time in Playa Vista (LAX) on auditions, singing lessons, acting lessons, etc. she is losing her English accent.
