Claudia Hollingsworth is one of the most exciting middle-distance prospects in Australian athletics history. And when you look back upon her career, there’s little wonder why. By 16 years old, Claudia was already competing against open-age fields and just a year later made her international debut at the World U20 Championships.

By 19, she was crowned the Australian National 800m Champion and went on to make the Olympic semi-finals in Paris, setting her up for success on the global stage against the world's absolute best in the Diamond League.

Now, she’s back on the track, shattering under-20 records and sharing her pure love for running after overcoming early career racing setbacks.

Watch Claudia go for gold at the Glasgow Commonwealth Games starting July 27 andstream it live directly on the 7plus Website, or head straight to the dedicated7plus Athletics Hubwhere all the Commonwealth Games live feeds and event replays will be.
