Keely Hodgkinson has broken the long-standing women's indoor 800m world record, set by Slovenia's Jolanda Ceplak on the day the Briton was born almost 24 years ago.

Keely Hodgkinson realised her long-standing dream of becoming the 800-metre indoor world record holder after setting a phenomenal new time at a meet in northern France.

She achieved a time of 1:54.87, surpassing Jolanda Ceplak's 24-year-old record of 1:55.82 by almost a second.
