Athletes from Great Britain Compete for Medals at the World Championships

• Kili Khodzhykynson and Georgia Hunter-Bell will compete in the 800m
• Britons have ambitions for medals in various disciplines
• Paula Dunn expressed confidence in the success of the team at the World Championships

At the World Championships in Athletics in Tokyo, which will take place in September 2025, representatives from Great Britain, including Kili Khodzhykynson and Georgia Hunter-Bell, plan to compete in the 800-meter race. Hunter-Bell, who won a bronze medal at the Olympic Games in Paris last year, has decided to specialize in this distance, despite her success in the 1500 meters.

Khodzhykynson, who recently returned after a long injury, is competing for gold, demonstrating one of the best forms of her career. Both athletes aim to improve their performance, taking into account the depth of competition at this distance. The team also includes other athletes with medal ambitions, such as Josh Kerr in the 1500 meters and Katerina Johnson-Thompson in the heptathlon.

The Director of Performance at UK Athletics, Paula Dunn, expressed confidence that the team can replicate the success achieved at the previous World Championships in Budapest, where the Britons won 10 medals. She emphasized that the team combines experienced medalists and young promising athletes, hoping for successful performances in Tokyo.
