Sean Tobin was bitterly disappointed after finishing 11th in the final of the men’s 3,000m at the European Indoor Championships, the Clonmel athlete clocking 7:58.11. The race was won by Jakob Ingebrigtsen in 7:48.20.

“That’s not what I wanted, I let the head go,” said Tobin. “When the tough got going I didn’t get tough. But I’m kind of embarrassed by that.
