McLaughlin-Levrone has come under criticism from fans that she doesn't participate in too many races anymore outside of the Olympics and World Championships, which Gatlin has vehemently defended.
The photos come at a poignant time as Hodgkinson has announced that an injury will keep her from competing for the rest of the season.
"Enjoy every moment, you have created some great memories over the last few years!! And think this is just the beginning," a fan reflected.

Hodgkinson is setting her sights on her first World Championship title in Tokyo in September 2025 after securing silver in the past two events.
