Top Irish athlete Ciara Mageaan set a new national record with a time of 2m 31s 06s in a 1000-metre race at the Diamond League meet on Friday evening the 14th of August 2020. This was over three and a half seconds faster than the previous record set by Sonia O'Sullivan back in 1993.
On Twitter, Sonia O'Sullivan said...“It lasted 27 years, a lifetime for some. Well done Ciara Mageean on smashing Irish Athletics
1000m record.”
Faith Kipyegon of Kenya won the 1000m race in 2:29.15 with Scotland’s Laura Muir second in
2:30.82. Ciara Mageean from Portaferry finished in third.
Ciara Mageean’s time was also the ninth-fastest ever run over 1,000m by any woman.
In July of 2020, Ciara Mageean also ran a new 800m national record.
