Andrew Ifeanyichukwu Osagie [2] (born 19 February 1988) [1] is an English athlete who specialised in the 800 metres and appeared at the 2012 Summer Olympics. [3]
While attending St Mary's University College he made rapid progress to win his first national titles and international medals. Osagie has performed well indoors, winning bronze medals at the IAAF World Indoor Championships in 2012 and 2014, as well as ranking second on the British Indoor All-Time list. He represented Harlow Athletic Club at club level.
Osagie was twice British 800 metres champion after winning the British Athletics Championships in 2011 and 2012. [4] [5]
In the men's 800 metres final at the 2012 Olympic Games in London, he finished eighth in a time of 1:43.77. This time would have won gold in all but two other Olympic Games, but the winner David Rudisha set a world record and the remaining medallists set the fastest time for place in the event. [3] The summer outdoor season of 2013 saw a 5th-place finish in the 2013 World Championships in Athletics.
He is the fourth fastest Briton of all time.[ when? ]
