Running scared in lane eight, she was always in contention, but the focus was on the athletes in the middle lanes, European champion Dafne Schippers and USA\u2019s Jeneba Tarmoh. It was close between McGrone and Schippers on the line, but the US sprinter was awarded victory in a personal best of 22.08, just 0.01 ahead of Schippers. In third, Tarmoh set a PB of 22.23.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size:10.0pt; line-height:107%; font-family:&quot;Arial&quot;,sans-serif\" lang=\"EN-GB\"><b>The 400m in favour of McCorory<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 7.5pt; line-height: 15pt; background-image: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-size: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; \"><span style=\"font-size:10.0pt; font-family:&quot;Arial&quot;,sans-serif\" lang=\"EN-US\">World indoor champion Francena McCorory buried the demons of her shock defeat at the US Championships, winning the 400m in a world-leading 49.83. Looking back to her dominant form of earlier in the season, McCorory already had a comfortable lead approaching the home straight and continued to power away from the rest of the field. Commonwealth champion Stephenie Ann McPherson finished second in 50.41 from Jamaican champion Christine Day (50.66). World champion Christine Ohuruogu clocked a big season\u2019s best of 50.82.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>IAAF Diamond League &#8211; Monaco<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":0,"featured_media":533,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[34],"tags":[],"city":[],"class_list":["post-1239","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-monaco-en"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/monaco.diamondleague.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1239","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/monaco.diamondleague.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/monaco.diamondleague.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/monaco.diamondleague.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1239"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/monaco.diamondleague.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1239\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/monaco.diamondleague.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/533"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/monaco.diamondleague.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1239"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/monaco.diamondleague.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1239"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/monaco.diamondleague.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1239"},{"taxonomy":"city","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/monaco.diamondleague.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/city?post=1239"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
