Stephanie Twell squeezes into 5,000m final in Beijing

GB runner Stephanie Twell has qualified for the 5,000m event at the World Athletics Championships in Beijing as one of the fastest losers.

The 26-year-old finished seventh in heat one with a time of 15.34.72 as she missed out on the top five by just over nine seconds to plunge a final berth into doubt.

However, Twell has advanced into the showpiece as a fastest loser to become Britain's one and only representative in the contest.

British teammates Mo Farah - who has already retained his 10,000m title this week - and Tom Farrell will compete against one another in the men's equivalent on Saturday.
