IRISH 110 metres record-holder Peter Coghlan finished third in last night’s IAAF Super Grand Prix meeting in Lausanne.

AS expected, Sonia O’Sullivan and the newly-crowned European 5,000m champion, Marta Dominguez of Spain, will renew rivalry at the Weltklasse in Zurich tonight but Gabriela Szabo has jumped ship and elected to run in the 1,500m race.

It was a joyless seventh night for Ireland at the World Athletics Championships in Edmonton, as none of the Irish competitors in action managed to progress through the heats at the Commonwealth Stadium.

An athlete competing in Edmonton has tested positive for the endurance-boosting hormone EPO and has been ruled out of the rest of the World Championships.
