KEELY Hodgkinson returns to the Paris 2024 Olympic Games track tonight in the women's 800m semi-finals.
Atherton ace and world number one Hodgkinson, 22, qualified automatically by winning her heat on Friday night.
The Leigh Harriers star will go in the third semi-final, from 7.35pm, needing to finish first or second to guarantee her place in Monday night's final.
This season she has ran more than three seconds faster than any of her semi-final opponents and remains hot favourite to win her first Olympics gold medal.
Her greatest opposition tonight would appear to be American Nia Atkins, who is ranked world number five.
To mark her next race, we have picked out 10 favourite pictures from her first appearance in Stade de France on Friday night - see the gallery above.
