    That's the thing, Mageean always looks comfortable, even when she's at max effort. Remember Glasgow, where she looked like she was strolling home even when she was overtaken by the silver medallist. Yet she had pushed hard enough to be throwing up when she was interviewed 5 minutes after she had finished.

    Looking forward to the semi-final. 5 fastest guaranteed, and she has the 6th fastest SB in her heat.

    I'm hoping yesterdays race didn't take too much out of her considering the other 2 heats were considerably slower.

    Since she moved to Manchester her been focused a lot more on strength (more 5k type work) as a result she has been fairly good for running rounds so should be able to handle it pretty well

    Not like Ciara had much choice anyway. In the first of the heats, she had to finish top 6, rather than second-guess the fastest loser times. She had to run that fast irrespective of the cost. 6th Place in her heat was 24/100ths of a second behind her.

    Ciara is in heat 1 tonight at 21:00....be a great result if she got to the final....

    Only 3-4 athletes in the heat faster than her...5-6 faster than her in heat 2

    She will need to be at PB level I reckon...

    I'm afraid there are 5 on SBs and I think the same number on PB. SB is nearly more important really. It'll be tough but doable if she's on top form. Yes, will need close to a PB I reckon, depending on early pace of course.

    But seventh was a good 1.4s back, she definitely could have eased up a little on the final lap. Easy to say that in hindsight of course, very hard to be confident you won't be out-kicked when you're 400m out.

    5 in her heat have PBs faster than hers, all of which has been set this season. With 5 to qualify, she'll definitely have to be in top form

    Indeed. She needs to not 'race' here, and just run the race as hard as she can till the end......almost time trial like....

    Very good atmosphere in stadium tonight and good attendance. They've even opened up seats previously blocked off. It will be empty by end of session because it goes on too late. But overall, the attendances have been improving a lot as the championships have gone on.

    They are giving away free tickets. Sense prevails.

    Definitely will be looked at, but not sure he'll get disqualified, there were two of them in it. There's a good argument that Lemi tried to step out in front of him into a space that just wasn't there. Messy

    Cram does...

    Happened so quick, and it was a very subtle cut. I think it’s just a racing incident. Unfortunate...but you couldn’t penalize him..

    Yeah I'd agree theres an argument Lemi was trying to cut out.. looked bad that Philip look over that way had a little push on the back the looked to have moved in...
    Think Lemi will be reinstated

    She was under no pressure whatsoever.

    People said she shouldn’t involve herself in a race and time trial it. She got herself involved in a race and qualified.

    Well done Ciara. Anything can happen in the final. Getting there is the challenge.

    Fair play to her. Could easily have gone the other way though with Ciara losing out to McDonald. Pressure was all in the last 300.

    To be fair, Ciara will be doing well to get in the top 8 or thereabouts. That very fast 2nd semi might take a bit out of the legs of some of those in it though.

    She didn’t lose out to McDonald though and she wasn’t even close to losing out.

    McDonald was never pressuring her. Mageean was completely in control in the last 200.

    To use the logic, she could have easily won that semi if it went one of a million other ways.

    She’ll do really well to get in the top 8 and I think she knows that herself.

    She correctly said in an interview with Off The Ball during the Summer that her aim was to reach the final because anything can happen, especially in the 1500.

    It ultimately depends on how fast the final is as well. If it’s slow then it’s a lottery really.

    Doesn't look like it!

    She was in complete control in her 2 races. She raced very well, she's a very god chance of a top 7 finish on Sat.

    She has looked very strong. Cant wait now.

    The final will be a different race altogether. Looks like Muir Hassan and Simpson will fight out the medals...
