Nadia Power has set a new 800m Irish indoor record in Poland. The race took place on the same track in Torún where the European Indoor athletic championships will be staged on March 5-7. Based on her current form Power, who is coached by Enda Fitzpatrick, will be in the shake-up at the business end of the 800m in the Europeans. Local favourite Joanna Jozwik was second in a seasonal best of 2:00.42 while Power was third. Power is now likely to take a break from competitive action until the European championships next month and she also looks destined for the Tokyo Olympics in the summer.
