Georgia Hunter Bell celebrated a remarkable victory at the European 1,500m Championships, securing her first title in a race marked by her dominance. This win follows her triumphs at the World Indoor Championships and the Commonwealth Games, showcasing a stellar 2026 season.

As she savored her success in front of a thrilled Birmingham crowd, Hunter Bell expressed a desire for more, reflecting on the intense 800m showdown earlier in the day. She is set to join European champion Audrey Werro, Keely Hodgkinson, Femke Bol, and World champion Lilian Odira in the Zurich Diamond League 800m next Thursday, an event that could herald a new era in the event leading up to the LA28 Olympics.

Hunter Bell noted the competitive nature of the upcoming race:

• "It was really close between me and Werro last year in Zurich. This year is such a good line-up."
  She also hinted at her aspirations for the World Ultimate Championships, where she aims to compete in both the 1,500m and 800m events, potentially chasing a historic double.

With a 1,500m bronze from the Paris Olympics and an 800m silver from the Tokyo World Championships, she aims to emulate Kelly Holmes' legendary double at the Athens Games in 2004.

• "Next year will be more of a year for taking that risk. I want to prove to everyone that I can win global titles across both events."

Hunter Bell's training incorporates cycling, which she describes as therapeutic, fostering both physical endurance and mental clarity. She remains focused on her upcoming races, emphasizing the fun and unpredictability of the 800m.

• "This is going to be really fun, so I think it's great for the sport."
  With her sights set on a strong finish to the season, Hunter Bell is ready to make her mark in the world of athletics.
