Keely Hodgkinson has won European silver after being beaten to 800m gold by Switzerland’s Audrey Werro in a dramatic final.
The British athlete had been seeking a third consecutive European title in the event, but Werro produced the decisive performance to deny her another gold medal.
Hodgkinson’s result means she leaves the race with silver rather than extending her run of European victories. The final was closely fought, underlining the growing rivalry between the Briton and the Swiss runner.
Werro’s victory marks a significant result against one of Britain’s leading middle-distance athletes, while Hodgkinson remains on the European podium despite missing out on the title.
