In the womens 800m race at the IAAF Diamond League Meeting at the Bislett Games in Oslo on Thursday evening, Laura Crowe of An Ríocht AC finished 7th in a new personal best time of 2:02.69. To even be selected to compete in such a prestigious event as a European Diamond League is an honour in itself but to then take two seconds off your previous PB is really outstanding.
