There was disappointment for Sarah Lavin on the final day of the World Indoor Championships in Nanjing, China, the 30-year-old Limerick athlete clocking 8.14 to finish seventh in the 60m hurdles semi-final.

With only the top two advancing automatically, it was always going to be a difficult assignment for Lavin, and she knew she needed to attack the first barrier to stand a chance.
