Thomas Barr has just missed out on a medal in the 400 metres hurdles at Rio 2016.
After a slow start, the Team Ireland athlete finished fourth in the final, in a time of 47.97 - just 0.05 seconds off bronze - and a new national record.
Barr had qualified for the final with an Irish record time in Tuesday night's semi-final.
Like the semi-final, Barr finished very strongly in the final to almost edge into the bronze medal position.
Kerron Clement of USA won gold with a season's best 47.73, ahead of Boniface Mucheru Tumuti of Kenya (silver) and Yasmani Copello of Turkey who finished in a time of 4.92, edging out the strong-finishing Barr by the tightest of margins.
Wow. @TomBarr247 sears home in a new National Record of 47.97. Finished 4th. So proud. Would have medalled in 405m 🚧 final. #TeamIreland
