Olympian Keely Hodgkinson, 23, flashes her jaw-dropping figure in sizzling bikini snaps - after pushing back track return over hamstring injury
The Olympian, 23, took to Instagram on Sunday to share a look into her stunning trip away amid her break from the track following her hamstring injury in February.
The 800m champion showcased her washboard abs in a skimpy black bikini before slipping into a red swimsuit.
She captioned her post: 'Training camp never looked so good'.
Last month it was reported Keely's first race since the Olympics had been further pushed back after she suffered a setback in her recovery from a hamstring injury.
She was due to run in the Stockholm Diamond League in June, which would have been her first competitive outing since winning 800 metres gold in Paris last August.
However, she pulled out of the meeting in Sweden and, while no timescale has been put on her return, her participation in other upcoming events is also now in doubt.
Keely has been plagued by problems since the Paris Olympics.
A knee issue forced her to prematurely abandon her 2024 season last August, before she tore her hamstring in February, just days before her own Keely Klassic event in Birmingham.
That injury ruled her out of the entire indoor season, including the European and World Championships, and the start of her outdoor campaign has now also been delayed.
In Stockholm, the Atherton athlete was set to run against Ethiopia's Tsige Duguma and Kenyan Mary Moraa, who won silver and bronze behind her in Paris, as well as British team-mates Georgia Hunter-Bell and Jemma Reekie.
Speaking after receiving her MBE last month, Hodgkinson admitted she was apprehensive about returning to racing.
'I feel out of practice in a way, because by the time I do race it will be 10 months,' she said.
'The first race will be a nerve-wracking one because my last race I literally became Olympic champion.'
Last week, Keely was partying it up at Hide&Seek Festival in Macclesfield with fellow track star Olivia Mason.
Keely looked incredible in the bikini as she proved despite being out of action, she has in no way lost her athletic physique.
Her rippling abs were on full display while she boosted her cleavage in the triangle bra and showed off her low-slung bottoms, adorned with Calvin Klein on the waist.
Keely and Olivia cemented their VIP status as they shared pictures showing they were on the stage for one of the DJ sets at the event.

Ofcom warned toxic abuse threatens female sport
The head of Sport England has written to Ofcom, the communications industry regulator, to express its "deep concern regarding the recent wave of racist and sexist abuse" directed at England's women's football team on social Boardman, the chairman of the community sport funding agency, said "the toxic culture that persists online threatens to undermine" efforts to increase rates of female defender Jess Carter has revealed she has been targeted with online racist abuse throughout the tournament. In a letter seen by BBC Sport, Boardman warned: "This behaviour is abhorrent and unacceptable in any context, but it is especially disheartening given the progress we have made in championing women and girls in sport."Through Sport England and National Lottery investment, we have committed hundreds of millions of pounds to increase participation, visibility and opportunity for women and girls in sport."In October 2023, the Online Safety Act became law, ensuring social media platforms have a duty to protect users from content such as racism, with Ofcom responsible for enforcing the legislation, and developing codes of practice to guide tech companies. However, some anti-racism campaigners believe there needs to be more urgency."The Online Safety Act 2023 provides a framework to address illegal and harmful content, including hate speech and misogynistic abuse," wrote Boardman."We are particularly interested in how the new codes can be used to address the kind of targeted abuse we are seeing. We understand that Ofcom has also issued draft guidance on improving online safety for women and girls, and we would welcome the opportunity to discuss how these measures can be strengthened and enforced."For too long, internet trolls have been given free rein by the big tech companies to spread bile and misery, and this cannot be allowed to continue."Could you please advise what further steps can be taken within the current regulatory framework to tackle misogyny and racism online?"Culture Secretary Lisa Nandy told BBC Sport that social media companies and Ofcom "need to do more"."I think the act will continue to be tested every time a problem surfaces and it's incumbent on those such as Ofcom and social media platforms to be proactive in rooting this out," she said."We brought in the Online Harms Act this year to make sure there are sanctions for companies that don't take this content down and we are doing a lot of work in schools to educate young people about the impact of online abuse but it's incumbent on all of us to call this out."It's absolutely disgraceful what [Jess Carter] has had to put up with and we are completely behind her and the Lionesses."Ofcom has been approached for comment.

Aston Villa plan improved contract for star just nine months after signing a new deal - as Unai Emery's side aim to fend off interest from Chelsea
Aston Villa are open to improving the contract of Morgan Rogers in the coming months following his outstanding displays last season. Rogers was one of the breakout stars of the Premier League last term, scoring 14 goals and producing 15 assists in all competitions to force his way into the full England squad. Though the 22-year-old signed a new deal only last November, his contributions were so impressive that he drew the attention of top clubs across Europe, with Chelsea continuing to monitor developments. Villa are under no pressure to sell Rogers and have no intention of doing so at this stage, especially as he has a little less than five years remaining on his current deal. Yet since Unai Emery took charge in 2022, the club have always been prepared to reward strong performances, with nearly all key players given new deals with improved salaries during his tenure. Another new deal would also signal to clubs circling Rogers of how central he is to Villa's plans. Rogers was signed by Villa in January 2024 after catching Emery's eye as the Villa boss analysed Middlesbrough – where Rogers was playing – ahead of an FA Cup tie. Emery considers versatility the most important quality in modern football and was sold on Rogers' ability to operate in a variety of attacking positions. At Villa, Rogers has played on both flanks as well as in the No10 position. Villa are also hopeful of agreeing a new deal with key midfielder Boubacar Kamara, whose current deal has two years to run. When fit, Kamara is arguably Emery's most important player and his free transfer capture from Marseille in summer 2022 remains one of Villa's smartest transfers of recent times.
