Laura Crowe of An Riocht AC runs PB time at Diamond League event in Norway...

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.
