Euro 800m Showdown: Hodgkinson Faces Werro and Broeders-Bol

The women’s 800m final at the European Championships in Birmingham shapes up as a blockbuster between Olympic champion Keely Hodgkinson, Audrey Werro (who just ran a 1:53.80 PB—the fastest in 43 years) and Femke Broeders-Bol, with a 10-person final after Werro’s semifinal fall. Hodgkinson will try to race her own race and counter Werro’s front-running, while Broeders-Bol—transitioning from the 400m hurdles—could surge with a PB to claim a medal. JG’s pick: Hodgkinson gold, Werro silver, Broeders-Bol bronze. Final Friday at 4:46 p.m. ET (21:46 BST), with live streaming and post-race analysis planned.
