Great Britain's Charlie Grice feels that he has "redeemed himself" after finishing in fifth place to qualify for the men's 1500m final.

Great Britain's Charlie Grice has admitted that he was delighted to have reached the men's 1500m final after only progressing through to the semi-finals in fortunate circumstances.

Grice was hampered during his heat and an official ruled that it had denied him the chance of qualification but on Thursday night, Grice ran a superb race to finish in fifth spot to gain an automatic place in Saturday's final.

The 22-year-old told BBC Sport: "I am so happy to get through. When the pace was slow I was quite nervous but I knew my 800m speed was good. I told myself to stay patient and I am glad I redeemed myself because Tuesday was not me.

"A few times people were cutting in, so I am just glad I stayed on my feet. I wanted to make sure I proved myself today. It was close but I am thrilled. Two days to rest up and the final will be a cracker."

Last year, Grice finished in ninth place in the World Championships final.
