Ireland’s 4x00 mixed relay team were just over a second outside qualification for tonight’s final.
The combination of Chris O’Donnell (Sligo), Sophie Becker, Tom Barr and Sharlene Mawdsley were fifth in their semi-final yesterday evening.
Jodie McCann was 20th in her 5000 metres semi final.
Eric Favors missed out on qualification for the Men’s Shot Put final.
His best throw of 19.02 metres was almost 2 metres off a qualifying spot.
Favors has strong connections to North Mayo where his grandmother Margaret Kerr originally came from.
