Great Britain's Keely Hodgkinson stormed to gold as she defended her 800m title in style at the European Indoor Championships in Istanbul.

The Olympic and world silver medallist, who turned 21 on Friday, crossed the line almost two seconds clear of Slovenia's Anita Horvat.

France's Agnes Raharolahy took bronze.
