Keep grinding Keeley 💪❤ you are already a absolute hero 💪❤ the English love ya
@
Class act and not act. The real thrill!
@
She is beautiful too
@
What an awesome lass Keeley is. I love watching her compete. She'll make it.
@
Her best time has now been, and others are coming through that are at their peak. She has done really well over th3 last 3 years when she was at her best.
@
Bol's running is poetry in motion. I fully expected her to stride past in the final straight.
@
Britain is so lucky to have charismatic talents like Keely and Josh backed up by Wightman, Hunter Bell and many more. Let’s just appreciate them all.
@
Shes too busy... winning.. to deal with the mental fragility of the athletics punditry

I've always fancied her. Best of luck to her for next time.
@
A Record Always falls when An Equal Runner is at one's shoulder. Keely had no one to push those lap times Faster .She out ran and was well faster than her competitors.🙂👍Job done Well done Keely.
@
I don't think Keely is fully fit anymore. Femke Bol will be a real threat in the future.
@
Pacer was over a second slower than what was asked for over the first lap, so that's what she might be referring to without saying it.
@
problem is that Keely said she was going for the World record at London and unfortunately their seems to be a younger woman called Werro is a lot closer to it and now you have a complete novice called Femke snapping at her heels,i have always said that nobody will dominate the 800m ,the idea that Keely was going to dominate was and is for the birds.
@
Yeah interview man.... Leave Hodgers alone and stop hammering her with questions and negativity just because shes not ReBreaking her world record every 5Milliseconds.

She got the job done. Leave her be.

Guts recognize guts💪🏻🔥🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿⚡️
Respect to risk takers who use the word fun unironically.🎉🇬🇧
@
Talk to Kerr, review your training, you're fine, just things have turned a little but you will be knocking on that record soon, all is well anyway for you, you're a special person, most of us never do anything great.
@
These are highly competitive events. Unless you are a unique, generational, talent. It’s not going to be a linear path of winning. Jeopardy and competitiveness is so much more fun. Keely is in the pack and better for it.
@
Irritated, is an understatement. She'll be back stronger in a couple of months. Good win nonetheless! 👏🏼
@
I love keely ❤

You put a short up earlier today where she said she’s not focused on it and more interested in winning so instead you focus on it rather than the winning
