Kate O'Connor has won a silver medal at the World Indoor Athletics Championship in China.

Two weeks after becoming a European medallist, O'Connor had three personal bests across the five events to secure a podium finish.

It's Ireland's first medal at the World Indoors since Derval O'Rourke in 2006.

Andrew Coscoran and Sophie O'Sullivan didn't advance from their heats in the 15-hundred-metres, though O'Sullivan ran a lifetime best.
