    Keely Hodgkinson is set to contest her first race since being crowned Olympic 800m champion 12 months ago, after what she has described as a "frustrating" and "upsetting" year.

    The 23-year-old British track star, a two-time world silver medallist, will race over 800m in Silesia, Poland, live on the BBC.
