Keely Hodgkinson became the golden girl of the Paris Olympics when she secured an incredible victory in the women’s 800m.
NO REST YET
Yet Keely Hodgkinson was determined not to rest on her laurels as she set off for a run in Marbella.
Despite skipping the Olympics closing ceremony in order to kickstart her holiday in Spain, she proved that she wasn’t relaxing her training regime.
In pictures taken on Monday, the 22-year-old athlete – who has 15 piercings and four tattoos – put her toned figure on display in a tangerine Nike co-ord teamed with white trainers.
SHE WAS TREATED WITH HONORS
After making the most of the Spanish sunshine, Keeley returned to her hometown of Manchester – where she was honoured with a huge mural.
The runner from Atherton won the 800m women’s final to claim the first Olympic gold of her career – breaking the British record set by Dame Kelly Holmes 20 years ago.
She crossed the finish line with a time of 1:56.72, which was almost half a second faster than silver medallist Ethiopian Tsige Duguma with 1:57.15.
By winning gold, she made history by becoming the first British competitor to win athletics gold at this year’s sporting event.

Just days after her record-breaking win, Keely was honoured with a mural on Stevenson Square in the Northern Quarter.
The Team GB star took to Instagram on Wednesday and announced the exciting news to her 514k followers.
Sharing a carousel of snaps, Keely donned a casual ensemble of dark blue jeans and a cropped black top, along with a small Chanel bag.
She kept her blonde hair down and opted for a natural face of make up as she gleamed in front of the art piece.
