Luke McCann breaks 1500m PB Stockholm Diamond League meet

Luke McCann broke his 1500m personal best in finishing second at the Stockholm Diamond League on Sunday.

McCann impressed last week in Ostrava after returning from injury and posted a time of 3:33.36 in the Swedish capital to finish a close second behind Robert Farken of Germany (3:33.53).

The time puts McCann fourth on the Irish all-time list.

The Dubliner remains outside the automatic Olympic qualifying standard of 3:33.50, but time and bonus points will ensure he's within the cut-off to secure a place via world rankings.

Sophie Becker finished third in the 400m with a time of 52.17. The race was won by American Alexis Holmes (51.18) and South Africa’s Zeney Geldenhuys (52.12).
