Keely Hodgkinson caused a stir at the recent Athlos meet with her new running suit. The British middle-distance runner had already gained notice for her gold-medal performances in the 2024 Summer Olympics and 2026 World Indoor Championships.
Hodgkinson won the 800M race in London in a "Catwoman" style suit. It had a hood, long sleeves, a backless panel and a ponytail slot. Talk about thinking of everything.
“Honestly this has been like a year in the making with all the adjustments and fittings," she said. "It was a really fun process with the Nike innovation team. I think it’s a mixture of fashion, speed and science all coming together, for maybe the future of athletics potentially.
“It was a real honor for them to choose me to put this out first.
We weren’t sure when we were going to wear it, but in hindsight an all-women’s event, which is all about the glitz and glamour and putting eyes on women, a bit of a moment was the perfect way to finish the season. So it’s really exciting.”
