Andrew Osagie

British middle-distance runner

Andrew Osagie is an English athlete born in Essex, who specialises in the 800 metres. He represents Harlow Athletic Club at club level and Great Britain at international level. He is the fourth fastest Briton of all time.

While attending St Mary's University College he made rapid progress to win his first national *les 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.

In the men's 800 metres final at the 2012 Summer Olympics 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. The summer outdoor season of 2013 saw a 5th-place finish in the 2013 World Championships in Athletics.
