SPEED queen Keely Hodgkinson basks in Olympic gold medal glory — as she races towards a £2million fortune. The 22-year-old star cruised to 800m victory in Paris as she bettered the silver she picked up in Tokyo three years ago. Fresh from achieving her Olympic dream, Hodgkinson was spotted sunning herself on a luxury yacht in Marbella and toasting her Paris victory with a glass of sangria.
She was seen soaking up the Spanish sun in an incredible see-through dress and stylish sunglasses. Hodgkinson then hopped on board a boat and stripped down to a green bikini. Meanwhile, experts reckon she should be getting used to the high life — with her endorsements and other earnings certain to rocket.
Brands guru Marcel Knobil, who has worked with Coca Cola and Yamaha, said: “Her estimated earnings prior to these Olympics were around £250,000 thanks to the likes of Nike and Omega. “Now, thanks to her exceptional talent, golden success and attractive personality and looks — Keely can look forward to earnings way beyond £2million next year alone.” Hodgkinson grew up in the former mining community of Atherton, Greater Manchester, but has hardly looked back since she stepped on to a running track.
