Sophie O’Sullivan books her place at next year’s Paris Olympics
After thundering downpours of rain delayed the start of the morning session by one hour, things soon heated up inside the National Athletics Stadium,producing a brilliant lifetime best in the third heat, finishing in 4:02.15, only to fall just short of making it an Irish trio in the semi-finals.
“I did all I could do, and I put myself in that spot, in that last 100m, where I could have been there,” O’Sullivan said. “But that’s the fastest I’ve ever run, the best shot I could have given myself, so I’ll just have to come back another time. Lying in seventh as she took the baton from Chis O’Donnell, Mawdsley tore up the track on her leg, the Tipperary athlete running the second fastest split of the heat, a brilliant 50.14 seconds, nailing fourth spot – the second and last of the fastest-loser positions.
