Cycling, crystals and cutting-edge science: the secrets of Hodgkinson and Hunter Bell’s success

Trevor Painter and Jenny Meadows, who oversaw gold medal success in Torun for Keely Hodgkinson and Georgia Hunter Bell, believe the best is yet to come for the pair

It was the architect of London 2012 Olympics who said it best, shortly after Britain’s Keely Hodgkinson, Georgia Hunter Bell and Molly Caudery had lit up the World Indoor Championships with three gold medals in 29 minutes.

“That was a towering moment, not just for UK Athletics but for British sport,” said Sebastian Coe, now the president of World Athletics. “It was very exciting, hugely inspirational. I really do hope they cause a stampede to local athletics clubs, particularly among young girls.”
