Sean Tobin will line up in tomorrow’s 3,000m final at the European Indoor championships in Torun, Poland, after running a personal best time of 7:47.71 in today’s heat to go through as a fastest loser. Poland's Marcin Lewandowski, who was the centre of the drama in the 1,500m final on Friday, withdrew from Tobin's heat. In the final heat which featured Norway's Jakob Ingebrigtsen – who was disqualified but later reinstated as the 1,500m champion last night – Raheny Shamrocks' Brian Fay was seventh in 7.56.13. Leon Reid finished fifth in 6.75, Israel Olatunde was fourth in 6.79, and in the final heat Dean Adams was seventh in 6.89. Sarah Lavin cruised into tomorrow's semi-final of the 60m hurdles and smashed her personal best time when finishing 3rd in her heat.
