John Travers has qualified for tomorrow's 1500m final after qualifying as a fastest loser having run a PB of 3:41.37 with a third-place finish in his heat this morning.

However, Dan Mooney failed to reach the 1500m final after finishing sixth in his heat in 3:48.96.

Speaking to RTÉ Sport in Prague, Travers said: "I'm happy with the race I ran, the best championship race I have ran so far.

"I was there or there abouts for the whole race. I've come here and I've performed so I'm happy to get the fastest loser spot.

"My previous personal best I ran the last 700 on my own. Today I ran the opening slow, if I had of gone out with a hard pace I would have gone out the back door, so I'm happy with that."

Mooney, meanwhile, was not disheartened by his failure to qualify, and said: "It was a tactical race where we should have gone fast as it was the final heat. You need a lot of pace to stick with those guys at the front.

"I stuck it out at the front for as long as I could, my legs felt good, but others felt better. It was a slow tactical race so I'm happy to get that experience."
