Ireland's Annalise Murphy has become the second Irish sailor to qualify a boat for the 2016 Olympics.

The 23-year-old finished in 20th place overall from 120 boats in the Laser Radial class at this week's World Championships in Spain.

Murphy was the 16th nation overall, with the top 19 nations securing a place for their country at the Rio games in two years' time.

Fellow London Olympian, James Espey has also secured qualification from this week's championships in Santander.

Murphy came very close to claiming a medal in London, eventually finishing fourth in the Women's Laser Radial class, having been in contention for gold earlier in the event.
