Brian Gregan beats personal best to qualify for World Athletics Championships

Brian Gregan has become the latest Irish athlete to qualify for next month’s World Athletics Championships in London, needing to break his 400 metres lifetime best to do so, writes Will Downing.

Fresh from his victory in last weekend’s European Team Championships in Finland, where only Mark English was able to achieve the same from an Irish perspective, Gregan clocked a new PB 45.48 at a meeting in Switzerland today to book his London passage.
