KEELY HODGKINSON had not yet finished her lap of honour.
But in a clammy room at Stade de France, her coaches were already talking about the future for Britain's latest Olympic champion.
The women's 800m world record may be the track's longest surviving - set by Jarmila Kratochvilova in 1983 - but Trevor Painter and Jenny Meadows have been convinced for some time that Hodgkinson can eclipse the Czech's 1:53.28.
It might take another couple of years, but as Hodgkinson bathed in the glory of Paris, they were already laying out plans for domination.
There was zero hint of arrogance about their aspirations for the 22-year-old, just an awareness that she is a talent like no other.
