Andrew Osagie fails to progress from 800m heats in Zurich

Osagie fails to qualify in Zurich

Andrew Osagie's disappointing summer continued at the European Championships in Zurich tonight as he failed to progress from the 800m heats.

The Brit, who was disqualified at the recent Commonwealth Games in Glasgow, could only finish fifth in his heat and just missed out on a fastest-loser qualification place.

Osagie's teammate Michael Rimmer also missed out on qualifying.

The fastest time of the heats was set by Ireland's Mark English, who crossed the line in 1:47.38. The semi-finals are tomorrow, before the final on Friday.
