Keely Hodgkinson made serene progress into the 800m final at the inaugural World Athletics Ultimate Championships in her first race back since taking silver at last month's European Championships.
The 24-year-old skipped the final rounds of the Diamond League and the Final in Brussels last week due to discomfort in her hamstring but looked relaxed and comfortable as she clocked the quickest time of the two semi-finals, 1:57.57.
As usual Hodgkinson led from the front before winding things up in the closing 200m, finishing well clear of American Addison Wiley in 1:58.14 and Australia's Sarah Billings, who clocked 1:58.37.
There was drama as Veronica Vancardo was accidentally brought down by Eloisa Coiro as the Italian attempted to edge past on the inside in the closing straight, with Hodgkinson and the other runners going to console the Swiss athlete, who appeared badly hurt. Officials later advanced her to the final after reviewing the footage and deeming she was tripped.
Hodgkinson told BBC Sport: ""I'm happy with that, I'm glad to be back running. It was a lot of fun. It's been a month since I last raced so it's nice to get that run out through the legs, hopefully go a bit better tomorrow."

The little black dress, or LBD as it's colloquially called, may be a well-established garment in fashion history, but designers are still finding new ways to reinvent the classic look.
Case in point: When Adria Arjona hit the red carpet for the Los Angeles premiere of her new slasher film, Onslaught, on Wednesday evening, the actor and model stole the show thanks to her sleek black dress from Calvin Klein Collection, which breathed new life into the design.

Arjona's dress was pulled from the house's Fall/Winter 2026 line by Veronica Leoni. It was constructed with a satin-like fabric, in a wrap design that hugged Arjona's body. A seam ran down the front and created a slight slit at the bottom of the skirt, allowing one of the actor's pointy black pumps to peek through.

Venezuela-born model and social media influencer Veronica Perasso claims that she cannot undo the illegal silicone injections she got at a friend's place because it would require open surgery and a month-long stay in another country.
Perasso, who has over 4.7 million followers on Instagram, recently began posting video tutorials about her cosmetic procedures. She emphasized that she intends to educate, not to advertise plastic surgery.
In her exclusive interview with Where Is The Buzz, the influencer elaborated on her experience. She revealed details about the night when she got injections, the advice she received from the surgeons, and explained why she feels ready to give up on her earnings for the sake of publicizing her story.
According to Perasso, she started getting plastic surgeries at the age of 20, but she chose not to conceal her breast augmentation.
"I had no problem talking about my breast augmentation, but after I did the silicone injections I felt embarrassed of what I have done to my body," she said.

The Minnesota Lynx listed rookie phenom Olivia Miles as "probable" for Friday's matchup against the Washington Mystics after she was injured during the team's Wednesday game.
WNBA teams are required to submit a pregame status report at least 24 hours prior to tipoff. "Probable" typically indicates a 75% chance that a player will appear in the game, as opposed to "questionable" or "doubtful."
Lynx star Napheesa Collier, however, is listed as out for "rest" against the Mystics, which comes as the final stop on a four-game road trip. It will be Collier's first missed game since she made her season debut on July 22 after undergoing two ankle surgeries this offseason.
Miles appeared to roll her ankle with 4:27 left in a win over the Golden State Valkyries on Wednesday, Aug. 19. She was defending Valkyries guard Veronica Burton when she awkwardly planted her foot and stepped on Collier's foot. Miles limped to the baseline before falling to the ground in pain.
The 23-year-old point guard recorded 20 points, seven ******* ists and five rebounds before she left the game.

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Gabby Williams had 23 points and seven rebounds, Veronica Burton added 16 points and five ******* ists, and the Golden State Valkyries clinched a playoff berth by beating the Dallas Wings 78-70 on Monday night for their sixth straight victory.
Golden State (25-9) has already surpassed its win total from last season by two and will get another chance on the postseason stage after becoming the first expansion franchise to reach the playoffs in its inaugural season of 2025. The Valkyries lost to the top-seeded Minnesota Lynx by one point in Game 2 of their first-round matchup.
Golden State center Kiah Stokes played 23 minutes in her return from the concussion protocol after she missed last Wednesday's home win against Chicago.
Another sellout crowd at Chase Center cheered the team to its 15th win in the last 17 games overall — among those fans Warriors star Stephen Curry, son Canon, and some teammates.
The Valkyries took off in the second quarter after another slow start, ending the first half on an 11-0 run on the way to a 44-28 lead at the break. Golden State began 3 for 13 while Dallas made seven of its first 10 shots to go ahead 15-8.

Veronica Perasso revealed to her Instagram followers that her experience of getting numerous cosmetic treatments made her have some scar tissue, constant health concerns, and body image issues, which she is struggling with. Veronica encouraged younger women to consult qualified professionals before doing the same.
In the second video on her Instagram account regarding her surgeries, Perasso refuted her fans who claimed that the outcome was something to envy.
"Part 2 of the rundown of all my surgeries. Some of you are confused because you guys see my stomach, and some of you think, wow, that's goals. How do you think you didn't look good? Well, because after the surgery, I did not look this way. I was still fat after a liposuction because they removed the fat out of here. Still, my face, my arms, and my legs were not in shape," she said.
She said the liposuction was followed by complications.
"And then I had a lot of fibrosis, it's scar tissue, and it looks so weird, and this is because I got massages, I got it treated," she said.

One of the headlines from the start of the summer revolved around Draymond Green's decision to decline his player option with the Golden State Warriors and become a free agent. Green's move to become a free agent was based around giving the Warriors more flexibility when it came to pursuing LeBron James. With the James free agency saga coming to an end in Philadelphia, Green returned to the Warriors on one-year deal for his 15th season in the Bay Area.
With the noise around free agency quieting, Green made an appearance at Chase Center on Sunday evening in support of the Golden State Valkyries. Green was in attendance on Sunday for the Valkyries contest against the Toronto Tempo.
Green was spotted talking with Golden State Warriors principal owner Joe Lacob courtside at Chase Center during the Valkyries game on Sunday night.
With Green in attendance, the Valkyries showed off, running away from the Tempo, 96-79, improving their record to 20-9 on the season. Janelle Salaun came off the bench to lead the way for the Valkyries, scoring 24 points on 9-of-15 shooting from the field in 30 minutes. Veronica Burton tallied 17 points with three made 3-pointers while Gabby Williams added 15 points against the Tempo.
At 20-9, the Valkyries are tied with the Las Vegas Aces for the second-best record in the WNBA, trailing only the Minnesota Lynx.
