There was disappointment for Donegal’s Mark English in the heats of the men’s 800 metres at the Olympics on Saturday morning.
Running in heat 5 of 6, the Letterkenny man finished fourth in his heat, in a time of 1min 46.75secs.
This wasn’t quick enough for him to progress to the semi-finals.
Watch is race back here:
