ATHLETICS: History was made at the Sapporo Odori Park on Saturday as Sinead Diver became only the second Australian woman to finish top-10 in the Olympic marathon.
In blistering conditions, Diver crossed the line in 2:31.14, which also makes her the fifth fastest Australian female marathoner at an Olympic Games, behind Milly Clark in 2016 and in front of Jessica Trengove in 2012.
