Sky Academy Sports Scholar Mark English continued to show fabulous form by winning the 500m in Stockholm in his second race of the season. Fresh from a three-break winter training trip in South Africa, the 22-year-old from Letterkenny kicked off his running campaign with second spot over 800m at the PSD Meeting in Dusseldorf on February 5.And on Wednesday night, he went one better by setting a new Irish record over the rarely-run 500 metres with a time of 1 minute 0.93 seconds at the Globen Galen in Sweden ahead of Amercian Erik Sowinski.Im very pleased to have run 60 seconds in my second outing this year, said English, who has already qualified for the Rio Olympics this summer.With some more competition I think I can break 60 seconds. It was great fun and the crowd were as supportive as always! Id also love to give the 600m a shot at some point.The world record stands at 1:15.12. Sowinski, who Ive just beaten, has run 1:15.61 and so Id like to think Im also capable of being in that territory.Two weeks ago, English kicked off his 2016 campaign in Germany in the 800m, his usual distance, in conservative fashion, but he showed his gears by moving through the field and only just missed out on top-spot after a fine battle in the last 100m with the lively Mussaeb Balla of Qatar.Next up is the indoor circuit in Scotland where he will be up against many of his British rivals in the 800m.English added: Im focused on running a quick time at the Glasgow Indoor International on Saturday.WHATS COMING UP FOR OUR SCHOLARS...JAN 16 - MARCH 5: Siobhan OConnor, AustraliaFEB 20: Mark English, Holly Bradshaw, Grand Prix IAAF Indoor Meeting, GlasgowFEB 22-28: Jack Bateson, Strandja tournament, Bulgaria Also See: English bows out in style About the Scholarship Meet the athletes Blogs Videos Galleries Khris Middleton Bucks Jersey .

VIENNA -- Top-seeded Andy Murray overcame a slow start against Gilles Simon of France before winning 4-6, 6-2, 6-2 and advancing to his 13th quarterfinal of the season at the Erste Bank Open on Thursday.The Scot, who improved to 16-2 against Simon in their career matches, clinched his 12th straight win of the season after taking back-to-back titles in Beijing and at the Shanghai Masters, where he beat Simon in the semifinals.He moves extremely well so its hard to finish the points, Murray said after winning in two hours, 41 minutes, adding that Simons playing style makes the rallies last longer than against other opponents.He doesnt give you too much pace so you have to generate a lot of the pace yourself, said Murray, who is a three-time Grand Slam champion. Sometimes you feel the better you play, the better he plays. The harder you hit the ball, the faster it comes back.Murray broke Simon in the opening game of the match, but then struggled for rhythm as he dropped his first two service games.The second-ranked Scot broke back when Simon missed a set point and failed to serve out the set at 5-3, but then lost his own serve for a third time.Murray held off six break points early in the second set and finally loooked to settle when he reeled off four straight games to level the match.dddddddddddd From 2-2 in the final set, he did the same to close out the match.Murray, who is 11-1 in quarterfinals this season, takes on John Isner for a place in Saturdays semifinals.Earlier, Viktor Troicki advanced to his seventh quarterfinal of the season by defeating third-seeded Dominic Thiem 6-2, 7-5.Troicki, from Serbia, held serve throughout against the ninth-ranked Austrian but needed to save seven break points in the second set.The 28th-ranked Troicki will next play fifth-seeded David Ferrer of Spain, who is the defending champion. He defeated Portugals Joao Sousa 6-2, 7-6 (4).Also, Jo-Wilfried Tsonga came back from 5-3 behind and saved a set point against Germanys Philipp Kohlschreiber in the opening set on his way to a 7-6 (6), 6-2 win.
