Andrew Coscoran produced the performance of his life to break his own Irish 1500m record and clock 3:32.68 to win at the Meeting Nikaia in Nice on Saturday night, smashing the 3:33.49 mark he ran indoors in Birmingham this year.

It also makes Coscoran the fastest Irishman ever outdoors, surpassing Ray Flynn's 3:33.5, which was run in the Dream Mile in Oslo back in 1982.
