Hodgkinson blames canal fall for failed 800m world record bid

Olympic 800m champion Keely Hodgkinson says a July cooldown fall beside a canal wrecked her world-record summer. She tripped on a metal grill, failed to get her hands down, bloodied her knees and jarred her back in what her team likened to whiplash. She believes the jolt led to her August European final hamstring tear.
