"Since 2023, Hull has won Olympic silver in the 1500m and three world championships bronze medals, along with this year's results. She broke the world record in the 2000m (5:19.70) at Monaco Diamond League (she will attempt to break the indoor 2000m this month too). She has run a whopping eight national records, including her breakthrough 1500m (3:50.83) at Paris Diamond League in 2024 and the 800m record (1:57.15) in the Tokyo world championships last year (despite the fact she is new to the 800m)."
"In what has been a busy start to 2026, Hull last week took silver in the prestigious Wanamaker Mile at the Millrose Games. In January, she won her first gold medal at the World Athletics Cross-Country Championships in Florida, where she anchored Australia's mixed relay team. She feels that the team success could be a precursor to individual success. I am really proud of it, Hull says."
Hull returned to Australia in 2023 to be coached by her father, Simon Hull, and the pair now co-write her training with Hull leading her goals. The change coincided with a breakthrough competitive run: Olympic silver in the 1500m, three world championships bronze medals, a 2000m world record (5:19.70) at Monaco Diamond League, and eight national records including a 1500m (3:50.83) and an 800m (1:57.15). Early 2026 results include silver in the Wanamaker Mile and anchoring Australia's mixed relay to gold at the World Athletics Cross-Country Championships. Simon's former national-level experience and supportive approach underpin Hull's continued rise.
