RE: Becky Wade and Lennie Waite
Lennie had a bad fall on the 1st (of 7) water jumps. To make things worse, while down, another runner stepped on her. In spite of the mishap, she worked hard to get back to the pack, but just didn't have quite enough to squeeze into the finals.

RE: Becky Wade and Lennie Waite
lenniew8Yep, that's me. Face to the track, stepped on as I tried to get up. Managed to get back on my feet, regain contact with the pack, but still missed out on the final by one spot and less than 1 second. Proud of how I fought back--still ran my fastest time ever in a GB vest, but my heart aches knowing that I can't put the vest on for the final. More fuel added to my fire for the next one and a good lesson to learn before Rio! #ech2016 #europeanchampionships #steeplechase #steeplechasefail #roadtorio #tracklife

Below is a video of the race. Lennie's fall is at about 0:55.

The commentators sound like they are British. Lennie didn't get much camera time, but they talked a lot about her, the fall and her effort to get back into contention. Her time was announced at about 11:30, and the results after the second heat (confirming that Lennie didn't qualify for the final) come at about 23:45.

Lennie stepped off the track after the second water jump with discomfort in her foot. Thankfully, there is no serious injury, so she should be fine for Rio.
