    Georgia Hunter Bell, Keely Hodgkinson and Molly Caudery have been posing for the photographers with their flags - the latter also gets the gold tiara that's been doing the rounds.

    After that, Hodgkinson skipped the media and went back to the warm-up track, that suggests she'll be in 4x400m final that closes the competition.

    That's at 19:47.

    It's not a bad position to have Keely Hodgkinson as your option for a third gold medal of the evening, is it? What a way this has worked out! It is absolutely brilliant seeing it unfold.

    Anything could happen here but, looking at the field she's up against and the form we know she's in, it is going to be so difficult for anybody to get close to her.

    If she switches on and feels it, who knows how fast she can go! If she wins this, it could turn into the situation where is she turns up and she is fit, it is always going to be hers to lose.

    Three golds in 13 minutes. Astonishing.

    Hodgkinson won Britain's fourth gold medal at these championships, following Josh Kerr, Georgia Hunter Bell and Molly Caudery.

    It means GB are top of the medal table!

    That gold medal really wasn't up for grabs, was it?

    She will want to go and add the outdoors gold medal to that because that's the only medal really missing to her haul right now.

    It will be a bit more of a taller order though.

    One of the quickest times that have ever been run indoors! It's not her own world record, you wouldn't have expected that, but she wasn't that far off.

    A big last lap again. She had that gold medal won and she was able to have a right go at it.

    Keely Hodgkinson, that was absolutely supreme. She made it look so easy and so straightforward. It was just her and the clock really.

    That will make up a little bit for Tokyo!

    A championship record for Keely Hodgkinson!

    She follows Georgia Hunter Bell and Molly Caudery to the top of the podium, setting a time 1:55.30.

    She controlled all the way round to win her first world championship title after she took gold at the Paris Olympics in 2024.

    Switzerland's Audrey Werro takes the silver with a national record, while American Addison Wiley set a personal best to seal bronze.

    Keely Hodgkinson absolutely does look unbeatable, but you never know until she's out there and she's racing.

    She is such an experienced runner at this level now. She has been to so many championships. She has won so many medals in her short career. She is so confident and dominant in the way she performs.

    Having that world record will just give her another layer of confidence.

    Women’s 800m final (18:53)

    Keely Hodgkinson's coach Jenny Meadows speaking to BBC Two: "She is really experienced now. She is coming into her sixth season where she wants to win another global medal. It would be the first time at the World Indoors because we've never managed to crack it and be in this shape during the indoor season.

    "There's nobody that has higher expectations than Keely herself. She obviously wants to win it and she would like to get the championship record. Everybody knows what shape she's in, she's the world-record holder after all, so there's no escaping that pressure. She does always say pressure is a privilege though."

    Fellow coach Trevor Painter speaking to BBC Two: "She could technically win it in any way because there are five other girls in this race and they will all want to try to stop her doing her thing. The interesting thing is she was more nervous about the heats than the semi-final, but the semi-final was just OK. We just need to find that spark today and I'm sure she'll be fine."

    Molly Caudery has got it after two years in the doldrums!

    She looked relaxed, precise and well-drilled throughout. I'm delighted for her, even more so than I was at Glasgow, because of the nature of what's happened over the last two years.

    Absolutely sensational.

    Women's pole vault final

    Molly Caudery has had two years from hell - she went out in the heats at Paris 2024, and didn't even make the competition at the last World Championships in Tokyo after an injury in the warm-up.

    So it is brilliant to see her smiling and celebrating with a British flag draped over her. She is indoor world champion for the second time, having triumphed in Glasgow two years ago.

    What an impressive achievement for Cooper Lutkenhaus! He has a huge, huge future ahead of him.

    We thought that run in the semi-finals would've taken it out of his legs, but he has actually run even quicker there from the front. He held his ground when he was challenged by Eliott Crestan.

    Mohamed Attaoui might be able to finish quickly, but he left himself with far too much to do and ran into traffic on the home straight.

    Women's 800m (18:53)

    Keely Hodgkinson last month broke the long-standing women's indoor 800m world record, set by Slovenia's Jolanda Ceplak on the day the Briton was born almost 24 years ago.

    Olympic champion Hodgkinson crossed the line in one minute 54.87 seconds in Lievin, France, taking almost one second off Ceplak's time of 1:55.82 which had endured since 3 March 2002.

    She joins triple jumper Jonathan Edwards as the only British athlete to hold a current world record in one of the sport's championship events.

    It means she is red hot favourite in Poland tonight, and it would be a major surprise if she did not claim gold for GB.
