She ran 1:56.73 for the two laps last year but is probably better remembered for the silver medal in the 1500 meters with an incredible race at 3:54.50.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size:12pt\"><span style=\"font-family:Calibri,sans-serif\">But the focus will in all probability be on Hodgkinson, who had to withdraw from this winter&#8217;s World Indoor Championships in the twelfth hour due to an injury.
