Mark English faced heartbreak at the World Indoor Championships in Torun, Poland today, coming home fourth in his 800m semi-final in 1:46.70.

Having led with a lap to go, English didn’t have enough over the last 200m to secure one of the top-two qualifying spots for Sunday’s final, with victory going to Australia’s Peter Bol in 1:46.21 ahead of Japan’s Allon Tatsunami Clay (1:46.47) and Jamaica’s Navasky Anderson (1:46.65).
