Andrew Coscoran is through to the final of the men's 1500m at the European Athletics Championships in Rome.
The 27-year-old finished fifth in Monday's semi-final to progress to Wednesday's final, but Nick Griggs missed out.
Phil Healy's fifth placed finish in the heats of the women's 200m was also not enough to advance.
Fortune favours the brave and Andrew Coscoran was just that💪
He made a move, imposed his place on the race & was rewarded with a place in Wed night's final👏
