Kate O’Connor is closing in on another major medal for Ireland ahead of the final event in the pentathlon at the World Indoor Championships in Torun, Poland. Hall is by far the best 800m runner among them, having run a blazing 2:01.23 last summer. She was visibly frustrated after failing three times at 1.84m, given she cleared a PB of 1.86m at the World Championships in Tokyo last year. O’Connor is bidding to win her fifth consecutive medal at major championships, having won silver at the World Indoors in Nanjing last year and silver at the Tokyo World Championships. I’m incredibly disappointed.”World Indoor Championships: Live, Virgin Media Two, 4.30pmIrish in action, Sunday (Irish time)Kate O’Connor: pentathlon 800m, 7.03pm
