Hodgkinson Concludes Campaign with Victorious Performance at Athlos Meet in New York
The athlete recorded her personal best of one minute 54.61 seconds last year in the British capital.
The Olympic champion finished her 800m campaign with a triumph at the all-female Athlos event in NYC on Friday night.
{The current Olympic gold medallist, who earned third place at the World Championships last month, dominated an outstanding victory in one minute 56.53 seconds in what was only her sixth race in a year affected by a hamstring injury.
Compatriot and global silver winner Georgia Hunter Bell finished second once more in 1:58.33, while the athlete from St Vincent Shafiqua M. (1:58.57) claimed third.
"I haven't competed much this year so it was probably easier for me to compete and be motivated to perform," said Hodgkinson.
"The atmosphere at the event is incredible so it was extremely enjoyable."
The female-exclusive event filled Icahn Stadium in its second year, bringing a party atmosphere to traditional track, with live music and Tiffany & Co. crowns substituting standard medals.
The tennis legend with 23 major titles Serena Williams, who is wed to the founder of Athlos Alexis O., was on hand to present the victors with their crowns.
Last year's winners received $60,000 (£44,603) - one of the largest prize purses in athletics.
The competition also attracted some of the sport's biggest names, as Kenya's triple Olympic champion and global record breaker Faith K. triumphed in the mile race, crossing the finish line in 4:17.78.
The US Brittany Brown, the 200m bronze medallist from last year's Paris Olympics, won the sprint double.
