Hodgkinson sets new British indoor record in 800m
The European Indoor Championships start in Istanbul on Thursday and you can watch all the action live on BBC TV, BBC iPlayer and the BBC Sport website.
Britain's Laura Muir, who already has four European indoor titles, and Neil Gourley will bid for gold in the 1500m.
Keely Hodgkinson, who improved her national indoor record on Saturday, will seek to retain the 800m title she won in Poland in 2021.
Daryll Neita and Reece Prescod hope to win gold in the 60m finals.
High jumper Morgan Lake and long jumper Jazmin Sawyers are also among British medal hopes.
Great Britain won 12 medals at the 2021 championships - more than any other nation - with Hodgkinson and Amy-Eloise Markovc in the 3,000m securing golds.
Britain's first chance of a medal could come in Friday's men's 1500m final (17:40 GMT). Of those competing, only Norway's Olympic champion Jakob Ingebrigtsen has run faster than Gourley this year.
Neita's 60m final is later that evening (18:45), with the men's event taking place on Saturday (17:55) after Muir goes for gold (17:00).
On Sunday, Lake (07:20) and Sawyers (16:50) jump for medals, before Hodgkinson attempts to defend her 800m title (17:35).
Who are the global stars to watch?
Seven Olympic champions are due to compete including Marcell Jacobs (60m), Karsten Warholm (400m), Ingebrigtsen (1500m and 3,000m) and Nafissatou Thiam (pentathlon).
Meanwhile, Femke Bol, fresh from breaking the world indoor 400m record, will look to defend her title.
