Heptathlete O'Dowda pushing for podium after seventh at European Championships
Jade O'Dowda reckons her rock-solid European Championship campaign can lay the foundations for an international podium push next season. The Oxford star, 22, battled to a seventh-place heptathlon finish in Munich this week after a gruelling two days at the city's Olympic Stadium. Ad O'Dowda bagged a bronze medal for Team England at the Commonwealth Games but was unable to live with the red-hot standard set by Nafi Thiam, Adrianna Sułek and Annik Kalin, who grabbed the podium places.
