Paralympic sprint star Orla Comerford continued her blazing start to the season by powering to victory in the para women’s 100m at the Bislett Games in Oslo on Wednesday evening, the Dubliner clocking a lifetime best of 11.87 into a slight headwind of 0.7m/s.

That brought her home well clear of Norway’s Ida-Louise Overland (12.88) and Dutch sprinter Zara Temmink (12.88). The para 100m was among several events staged on the eve of the main programme at the Oslo Diamond League, where Rhasidat Adeleke and Mark English will be in action on Thursday.
