On those final possibilities, a medal namely, Mageean said: “It will take a PB to do it but I feel ready. It’s going to be fast, but that’s what we want. I feel in the best place I’ve ever been, and I’m excited to get out there. There’s been many championships and I’ve been unfortunate to pick up something, so it’s nice to be in this position.”In the second semi-final Sarah Healy again faced Olympic champion and world record holder Faith Kipyegon.
“I never thought I’d be a little disappointed with a first sub-four, and I am super happy to run that time, and with how I competed, but the goal was to make the final,” she said. “I was close but not close enough.” “I had a pretty good position early on and I tried to hold my place, The legs just weren’t there, I’m very disappointed,” he said. “There’s a couple of things that got in the way on the lead-up, they’re all excuses, really. I’ll get them right next time.”
