KEELY HODGKINSON: TOO arrogant and SLAPPED back into REALITY

VIPAM wrote:

I certainly thought Keely would win the Stockholm DO 800m and apparently so did she but now I'm glad she didn't win. During her post run interview she was so dismissive of Aubrey Werro and only gave one positive note at the end.

Her negative statements:

1.) "I won't let that happen again".

Really Keel if someone runs faster than you're capable, how are you going to stop them❓

2.) "I let her go and figured Aubrey normally runs out of steam."

So she was never to learn from her past races and improve her performances.

I'm STILL NOT hating on Keely but I did dislike those two statements. I hope both of them improve on their personal best again this year.

Werro's gonna keep crushing her and I'm gonna love every moment. The best thing is Werro is European so will stand in the way of Keely's primary target title this year. Maybe she should've chosen Comm Games.

That's not how K came across in the interviews I've seen. Werro did run a 2 sec PB and Keely expected her to fall away like she had in the indoor WR attempt. More surprised than arrogant IMHO.

....

"I won't let that happen AGAIN". is very arrogant. Not likely but say their next race Aubrey runs 1:54.20 or faster which is faster than Keely's pb, how will she stop Aubrey?

Keely may have been in shock but her choice of words clearly indicated she doesn't think Aubrey should've beaten her today or will beat her AGAIN this year.

Ya, a 2 second 800 pr at that level is unheard of. In every race Keely has ever run, including against these opponents, nothing like that has ever happened. I'm not sure anything like this has even happened in the history of t&f at a pro level.

That's exactly the mindset of a competitive athlete, especially one who has an 8-1 record against her opponent.
