‘I'm quite happy, to set a new Irish record is very good. I tried something a bit different, I knew my strength lies in coming back quick, but I knew I needed to get out quick to stay with the lads, kind of died a bit during the end, but tried something new, got a PB so I can't be too disappointed," he commented after the race.
"It's a stacked race, it’s so quick, it's unbelievable. It's unreal to get in and race against those guys and a great experience, hopefully I can learn from that and improve for next time."
Earlier on Thursday, Corby was just two hundredths of a second outside of the record when finishing in 2:06.47 in the heats.
