World Champion finishes last in New York Diamond League

Christine Ohuruogu struggled on her first start of the outdoor season, finishing last in the 400m at the Diamond League meeting in New York.

The double world champion’s time of 53.14secs left her three seconds adrift of winner Francena McCorory.

Elsewhere, Kenya’s Olympic champion David Rudisha continued his comeback from injury with victory in the 800m.

Rudisha was far more impressive, recording a time of 1:44.63sec in only his second race in more than 12 months. 

Meanwhile, England have confirmed that double Olympic champion, Mo Farah will compete in both the 5,000m and 10,000m at the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow.

The 129-strong team includes long jump champion, Greg Rutherford and Ohuruogu who will compete in the 4x400m relay only.
