Both Irish runners finished in seventh spot - with the top six advancing - and will now go into Wednesday’s repechage race
Sophie O’Sullivan and Sarah Healy unlucky to miss out on qualification in 1,500mThe 22-year-old O’Sullivan was drawn against the likes of Britain’s Laura Muir and Gudaf Tsegay from Ethiopia, the 5,000m world record holder who’d raced that final the night before.
“I honestly felt really good. I was surprised as I didn’t think we were going very fast at all. And the crowds were crazy, you can’t really understand how big it is until you walk in and you’re like, ‘Oh’. It’s so cool to see you almost forget to be nervous. It was great.” With 200m to go she had to briefly run wide when trying to get around Tanaka, causing her to break stride momentarily.
That heat was won by Diribe Welteji from Ethiopia in 3:59.73, Ramsden grabbing that sixth place just ahead of the Irish woman – the Dublin runner also falling over the line at the World Indoors in March.
