"Hodgkinson revealed that her preparations had been interrupted by an airline, KLM, losing her kit for 48 hours on the flight to Poland. It led to the overwhelming favourite for 800m gold having to train in whatever she could beg or borrow and getting a blister as a result."
"Hodgkinson believes she is in the shape of her life having kicked on again since breaking the world indoor 800m record last month. But she admitted she is not a big fan of having to race three times in three days in Torun."
"Hodgkinson's goal is clear: her first world title. Obviously I want to get gold, she said. I won't be happy with anything else. I've had a season so far that's been amazing, let's hope it continues."
"Hodgkinson also expressed her relief at being able to run at these world indoor championships after missing out three times through injury. It's been emotional."
