Ireland's Anne-Galligan bows out of 800m

Rose-Anne Galligan's spectacular return to top-class athletics this year didn't translate into qualification for the semi-finals of the 800m at the World Championships in Moscow.

After winning her heat at the European Indoors in Gothenburg, and then breaking Sonia O'Sullivan's long-standing Irish record at London's Anniversary Games last month, Galligan finished a second-and-a-half down on her new mark this morning, finishing seventh in her heat and instantly bowing out.
