Olympian Keely Hodgkinson is continuing her well-earned holiday in Spain after winning gold for Team GB, as she sent fans “kisses from Marbs”.
The British 800m star, who just took the podium on Tuesday, has been enjoying a break on the Costa del Sol and has shared Instagram Snapshots of her enjoying cocktails on a night out.
Looking chic in an asymmetrical dress, the 22-year-old thanked The Clubhouse at La Sala, Puerto Banus, for their “amazing hospitality” in a carousel of photos.
She styled her platinum blonde hair into a sleek ponytail and opted for a pink makeup look with plenty of blush to accentuate her bronzed glow.
Clubhouse, on its website, promises a “premium competitive socializing experience.”

“Get ready to eat, drink, watch and play at The Clubhouse,” the text reads. “Enjoy the ultimate venue for any live sporting event, where luxury meets excitement in Marbella.”
Taking to her Instagram Stories, Keely shared a photo of herself preparing to enjoy a colourful cocktail garnished with passion fruit, in congratulations to fellow Team GB star Georgia Bell, who won a bronze medal in the women’s 1500m last night.
Yesterday, Keely celebrated in style with her family on a yacht off the Costa del Sol in Spain.
The 22-year-old, who wore a green strappy bikini and white crochet-style sarong, swapped her running shoes for a pair of £860 green leather Louis Vuitton sandals.
Her accessories were equally luxuriously priced: she carried a Balenciaga Ibiza Basket bag on her arm, which retails for £850, and also sported a pair of £510 Chanel sunglasses.
The athlete, who was featured on the cover of Elle magazine last month, has previously told how she follows a “look good, feel good” mantra to give herself an edge when competing.
But her glamorous beach look last week, complete with bright purple acrylic nails that were designed to complement the colour of the Paris runway, suggests she’s now applying the same approach to enjoying her well-earned win.
Keely was spotted in Puerto Banus, near Marbella, boarding a yacht organised for the star by hotel brand La Sala Lifestyle. She was carrying a banner featuring the Olympic rings and a gold medal, with the well-intentioned if grammatically incorrect message: “Congratulations on your gold medal, Keely Hodgkinson.”

She and two friends chatted while sunbathing on the deck. When the boat returned to port, the group sat at an outdoor bar enjoying pitchers of what appeared to be sangria.

Hodgkinson won the women’s 800m final to claim her first career Olympic gold, after claiming a silver medal and breaking the British record set by Dame Kelly Holmes 20 years ago at the Tokyo 2020 Games.
Her winning time was 1:56.71, almost a second faster than silver medallist Tsige Duguma of Ethiopia.
Keely had previously revealed that a family holiday to Marbella was her “first priority” after the Games, along with the possibility of buying a beige Porsche if she won gold.

The image of the athlete wearing a crown after her victory on Tuesday night is already becoming a work of art.
Artist Ben Mosley set to work creating a portrait of the Stade de France moment using a photograph taken by Mail Sport’s Andy Hooper.
For an interpretation of the victorious image from Tuesday’s Daily Mail front pageMosley used acrylic paint on gold leaf worth thousands of pounds a kilo.
“Wow! Is that really gold?” Hodgkinson said, staring at the storyboard he works on every day. Team GBThe company’s headquarters are located in the Bois de Boulogne district of Paris.
Hodgkinson signed the masterpiece before speaking to Mail Sport about his own artistic abilities. “I was actually good at art at school,” Hodgkinson said. “I can draw. If I have something in front of me, I can copy it quite well and make it look realistic.”
