SARAH Lavin ran a season’s best of 7.92 seconds but agonisingly lost out on a medal after a fourth place finish in the Women’s 60m Hurdles Final at the European Indoor Championships in Apeldoorn, Netherlands.
Ditaji Kambundji of Switzerland took gold in a championship record 7.67 ahead of home performer Nadine Visser (7.72) and Poland’s Pia Skrzyszowska (7.83).
“Fourth is fourth, who’s happy with fourth,” Lavin said as she reacted to the race with RTÉ Sport’s David Gillick.
The Emerald AC athlete also lamented her approach to the first hurdle.
“That’s the bottom line. You can’t physically do that because I’m competing with the best girls ever that had been in Europe,” said Lavin.
“I still have World Indoors in two weeks’ time in China but like at the same time seventh, sixth, fifth, fourth (at major championships)… I have to get my first hurdle right.”
