Hodgkinson sets new British record in the women's 800m at the World Indoor Tour Final

Great Britain's Keely Hodgkinson, who improved her national indoor record on Saturday, will seek to retain the 800m title she won in Poland in 2021. She takes part alongside compatriot Isabelle Boffey in the women's 800m heats from 16:40 GMT.

Neil Gourley, after winning 1500m gold at both the British Indoor Championships and the World Indoor Tour Final in Birmingham, has hopes to be in the mix for a European Indoor win.

His time of three minutes, 32.48 seconds in Birmingham was the world's second-fastest time indoors this year. He lines up in the final heat at 18:25, with fellow Briton George Mills also in action in an earlier heat.

Elsewhere, Guy Learmonth competes in the 800m heats (16:21), with Hannah Nuttall and Melissa Courtney-Bryant hoping to progress in the 3000m qualifying from 17:30.
