Louise Shanahan up next in Heat 3.

Shortest in the race again.

And another 7th. Hard luck Louise.

Kellie Harrington goes in the Lightweight shortly. Decent chance of a medal for Kellie.

Siofra came in 7th too. The Sri Lankan messed up any chance she had to go faster.

Haughey medals again.

Harrington 2 rounds to the good and should be safe here.

Easy win for Kellie. Next fight is for a medal.

400m hurdles heats start now.

Thomas Barr in Heat 3 in about 10 minutes.

Jaysus he’s only 29. Lane 7 with Warholm, the world record holder outside of him.

Gets there in second. Finished well after not seeming to run well for most of the race.

Finished well.

The Norwegian is different gravy.

Annalise has Race 9 in a few minutes. @Cheasty do we know what she needs to do to make the medal race?

Belfast’s Aidan Walsh goes for a medal against the Mauritian, Mervin Clair in the welterweight QF shortly.

Walsh controlled that fight. 4-1. Mauritian outclassed. Bronze in the bag.

Fight before it was a cracker. McCormack #1 seed got a chasing in the 3rd but clung on. Very intriguing division this. Walsh will need to step it up next time.

She’s out, misses out on the medal race.
