Beijing-bound Roisin McGettigan claimed a notable victory in the 3,000 metres steeplechase at tonight's Aviva London Grand Prix at Crystal Palace.

SERGEY LEBID claimed his seventh title but Spaniard, Marta Dominguez, deprived the Ukraine of a double by stripping Tetyana Holovchenko of the senior women’s crown as Ireland claimed plenty of top 10 placings but no medals at the European cross-country championships in Toro, Spain, yesterday.

SERGIY LEBID stole the show with a devastating last lap surge to claim his fifth successive title - and his sixth in all - at the SPAR European cross-country championships in Tilburg, overcoming the challenge of Spain’s Alberto Garcia, the European 5,000m champion who only returned from a two-year ban for a positive drugs test last March.
