Organisers of the Meeting Hauts-de-France Pas-de-Calais have confirmed that Grant Holloway, Katie Moon (nee Nageotte) and Keely Hodgkinson are the latest stars who are set to compete at the World Athletics Indoor Tour Gold meeting in Lievin on 15 February.
US sprint hurdler Holloway is a two-time world champion outdoors, the world indoor record-holder, and the world indoor 60m hurdles champion. He is undefeated at 60m hurdles for almost nine years, and that streak includes victories in Lievin in 2022 and 2021, the latter with a meeting record of 7.32.
The 25-year-old owns seven of the 10 fastest times in history for the 60m hurdles, two of which were set in Lievin.
US compatriot Moon, now competing with a new surname after getting married on 31 December, also returns to Lievin. The world and Olympic pole vault champion won in Lievin in 2019 and last year set an indoor season’s best of 4.80m there.
Hodgkinson, the European 800m champion indoors and outdoors, returns to Lievin with a point to prove as it’s the scene of her only indoor 800m defeat to date. Along with her continental honours, the 20-year-old is the world and Olympic silver medallist, and holds the British records indoors and outdoors.
Other stars confirmed for Lievin include world and Olympic pole vault champion Mondo Duplantis and Olympic 1500m champion Jakob Ingebrigtsen.
