British middle-distance runner Keely Hodgkinson was overtaken by Kenya's Lilian Odira in the women's 800 metres final at the Diamond League competition held in Eugene, Oregon. The race ended Hodgkinson's hopes of achieving a breakthrough performance on the elite track circuit.

The defeat marks the second time in recent months that Hodgkinson has failed to win at a major Diamond League meeting, following an earlier loss in Stockholm roughly a month prior. Her bid to establish a new world record in this discipline also came up short at the Oregon event.
