There were two near misses for New Zealanders at the World Athletics championships in Berlin this morning.
Nikki Hamblin's sixth place in her semi-final for the 1500 metres was just one place short of a finals spot.
Her time of 4.10.96 put her less than half a second behind the last qualifier.
And Stuart Farquhar missed out on the finals of the men's javelin.
His best throw of 78.53 metres was not quite enough to get him into the top twelve.
