Streimikyte fifth in gruelling 1500m at World Para Athletics Championships

Ireland's Greta Streimikyte finished fifth in a gruelling T13 1500m that took place under the full glare of the Dubai sun at the World Para Athletics Championships.

It was anticipated to be a tactical race but Moroccan athlete Fatima El Idrissi surprised the field when she pushed the pace in the second lap and opened a gap that none of the other athletes could make up.
