Georgia Hunter Bell has enjoyed a remarkable year, winning a hat-trick of gold medals at the World Indoor Championships, for England at the Commonwealth Games, and again for Team GB at the European Championships.
British female track success in 2025 went well beyond her achievements. Sprinter Amy Hunt made headlines with a record four-gold display at the Europeans in Birmingham, while Dina Asher-Smith now tops the all-time medal table at the championships after winning her 11th, eight of which are gold. Keely Hodgkinson claimed World Indoor gold in the 800m in March, in the second-fastest indoor time in history, and set a new British record at that distance in the summer.
Hunter Bell said the team's closeness fuels their drive. "We all know each other very well. We all travel together, see each other a lot throughout the year, so it's fun to tune in and be like, 'Oh, Amy's racing tonight'," she said. "When you're on a team together, someone winning or bringing home a medal, it makes you even more keen to do well because you want to contribute."
The squad also shares a passion for pre-race style. Hunt's curated nail art, which nodded to Birmingham landmarks like the Bull Ring, drew attention at the Europeans. Hunter Bell said feeling your best on the start line can provide "that extra one or two per cent" to make you "feel like you can do anything." Hodgkinson, meanwhile, debuted a full-length, hooded speed suit when she won the 800m at Athlos in London, a look that recalled Cathy Freeman's at the 2000 Sydney Olympics. Hunter Bell did not rule out wearing one herself at the Los Angeles Games in 2028.
