Ireland’s Orla Comerford was victorious in Wednesday night’s Diamond League meet in Oslo, on a mixed night for the Irish as Mark English and Andrew Coscoran had disappointing nights on the track.<\/p>\n

The 28-year-old, who won two gold medals at the 2025 Para Athletics World Champiosnhips in New Dheli last year, sauntered through the 100m Women’s Para race at a time of 11.78 seconds, with fellow Irish athlete Lana Sutton just missing out on a podium finish, finishing fourth in a time of 12.88.<\/p>\n

Mark English’s 800m race was not quite as positive however. The world number nine, who finished second in Rome<\/a> last time out and won in China last month, pulled up and did not finish.<\/p>\n

Andrew Coscoran was also in action in the men’s “Dream Mile” at the Norwegian venue. The Balbriggan native finished in eighth place, after a photo finish, in a time of 3:49.68 as Kenya’s Timothy Cheruiyot took the victory.<\/p>\n

Earlier in the evening, in the pre-programme portion of the night, Eimear Maher earned herself a second place finish in the 1500m.<\/p>\n

The Dubliner ran a seasons best time of 4:09.93, pushing Portugal’s Patricia Silva all the way in a field jammed with local athletes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Ireland’s Orla Comerford was victorious in Wednesday night’s Diamond League meet in Oslo, on a mixed night for…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":493115,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[61,60,112],"class_list":["post-493114","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-sports","tag-ie","tag-ireland","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/493114","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=493114"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/493114\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/493115"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=493114"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=493114"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=493114"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
