Olympics: Lisa Dobriskey into 1500m final but Hannah England goes out

Lisa Dobriskey runs an excellent race as she qualifies for the finals of the women's 1500m, but world silver medallist Hannah England bows out after struggling in the home straight to finish ninth.

Dobriskey came through in the final sprint, easing off as she approached the line to finish fourth, comfortably inside the top five automatic qualifying spots.

Hannah England, who missed a large part of training early in the season through injury, couldn't match Dobriskey's strong finish.
