Fourth for Phil Healy in European 400m final 

Ireland's Phil Healy prepares for the Women's 400m Final

Phil Healy’s bold bid for a medal in the European Indoor 400m final in Torun Poland has come up just short, the Irish sprinter finishing fourth in 51.94.

The 26-year-old Bandon AC athlete threw herself into contention on the first lap but just didn’t have enough up the home straight to hoist herself into the medal positions. In a field filled with quality, Dutch star Femke Bol claimed victory in 50.63, with Justyna Swiety-Ersetic of Poland taking silver in 51.41 and Jodie Williams of Britain third in 51.73.
