Ireland's Ciara Mageean just misses out on a medal in the 1500m final at the World Championships after breaking her own national record.
Ciara Mageean's time in fourth place took 0.02 seconds off her previous Irish record set in Brussels last September
"I certainly came into these championships with the aim to stand on the podium," Mageean told BBC Sport after the race. Mageean remained on the kerb, one or two places behind the the red hot favourite, for the first 1200m before the Kenyan made her decisive move. Earlier, Ireland's Sarah Lavin produced an impressive first-round heat to progress to Wednesday's 100m hurdles semi-finals.
