EXCLUSIVE Team GB star Keely Hodgkinson vows to make one MASSIVE purchase if she wins gold at the Paris Olympics as the track star embarks on titanic quest for glory Keely Hodgkinson is aiming for gold with Team GB at this year's Olympic Games The track star has enjoyed a hugely successful preparation heading into Paris The 22-year-old star is now amongst the favourites for gold in the 800m event By David Coverdale Published: 12:00 EDT, 21 July 2024 | Updated: 12:10 EDT, 21 July 2024 e-mail View comments An Olympic gold medal is not the only shiny thing Keely Hodgkinson has her eye on this summer. ‘I saw a really nice car on Pinterest,’ she tells Mail Sport. ‘My brother was like, “Do you know how expensive they are?”, and I said, “If I win the Olympics , I will get myself that car”.
I think it’s a Porsche Cayman. As long as it’s sporty, beige and it’s looks nice, that’s all that matters to me!’ Should she win the 800 metres in Paris, Hodgkinson will have at least £38,000 to put towards her dream car — which retails from £55,000 — thanks to the prize money offered by World Athletics to gold medallists. The British star, though, knows that a first Olympic title would be worth a lot more than that.
‘It can definitely change your life,’ she admits. Hodgkinson’s life has already changed since the last Games in Tokyo in 2021, when she won a surprise silver aged only 19, a result she replicated at the last two World Championships. Team GB's Keely .
