SOPHIE O’SULLIVAN ran a personal best in her 1500 heat but failed to qualify for the final at the World Athletics Indoor Championships in Nanjing, China, on Friday.
The 23-year-old ran 4.16.68 in Heat 3, and finished sixth, which was outside the qualifying spots and not enough for her to advance to the final.
And it’s a lifetime best performance for Sophie O’Sullivan of 4:16.68 in the heats of the Women’s 1500m 👏
She finishes 6th, just outside the qualifying spots, meaning she won’t advance to the final but she gave it everything out there 💚
There was disappointment, meanwhile, for Andrew Coscoran, who finished third in his 1500m heat, with a time of 3.40.79, but failed to make the final.

Only the top two qualified automatically, and the 28-year-old from Balbriggan finished strongly but was beaten by Norway’s impressive Jakob Ingebrigtsen and Raphael Pallitsch from Austria.
