Keely Hodgkinson surges to 800m glory on golden day for Britain in Paris

• British cycling trio win women's team sprint gold
• Clarke and Woods collect canoe slalom medals

Keely Hodgkinson punched the air as she confirmed herself as the poster girl of British athletics with a stunning win in the women's 800m final, as Team GB's velodrome campaign kicked off with a world-record gold medal run.

Hodgkinson, at the age of 22 already the world No 1, took an early lead in the Stade de France but Kenya's Mary Moraa and Ethiopia's Tsige Duguma stubbornly stuck to her right shoulder throughout the first lap.
