Both Hodgkinson’s Tokyo result and her junior indoor mark are European U20 records, making her at 800 m the fourth-fastest and the second-fastest under-20 woman of all time respectively.[6][7] In 2021, she became the Diamond League champion. In February 2022, she set a British 800 m indoor record (improved in 2023), placing her sixth on the respective world all-time list.[8] She also holds world indoor best in the 600 metres.
At age 16, Hodgkinson became the 800 m European U18 champion and won England’s U20 title. A year later, she took bronze at the European U20 Championships. She was the first junior woman in history to break the two-minute barrier in the indoor event. Hodgkinson is a three-time British national champion.
