Chamney fails to progress from 1500m heats

Thomas Chamney finished seventh in his heat of the 1500 metres tonight, as the first day of World Championships action came to a close in Berlin.

The Clonmel athlete, who is doubling up in the German city with his favoured 800m, came home in a time of 3 minutes, 42.54 seconds but it was not enough to earn him a fastest runners-up spot in the semi-finals.
