Georgia Hunter Bell Just DESTROYED a 31 Year Old Record!

Georgia Hunter Bell just shattered a 31-year-old championship record at the 2026 Novuna UK Athletics Championships in Birmingham! On Sunday, June 21, 2026, the Paris 2024 Olympic 1500m bronze medallist tore through the women's 800m in a blistering 1:55.93, smashing Kelly Holmes' legendary 1995 mark of 1:57.56 and also erasing Francine Niyonsaba's 10-year-old Alexander Stadium record of 1:56.92. Hunter Bell led from the gun, hit the bell in 57.02, and cruised through the second lap as Issy Boffey chased in 1:59.56 and Lucy Armitage grabbed bronze in a personal best 2:00.45. In this video, we break down every moment of her record-breaking run, her full post-race reaction, and what this performance means heading into the home European Championships. #GeorgiaHunterBell #UKAthletics #KeelyHodgkinson #800mRecord #BritishAthletics
