Hodgkinson beaten into second by Odira in Eugene

Olympic 800m champion Keely Hodgkinson suffered her second consecutive Diamond League defeat, finishing behind Lilian Odira in Eugene. The British runner, who claimed gold at the recent Olympics in the 800m event, was unable to replicate that form on the Diamond League circuit. Odira took victory in the Eugene race, continuing Hodgkinson's recent run of setbacks at this level of competition.
