Ninth place finish for Willis in 1500m final

| Other Sport News | Wednesday August 8 2012 8:23

New Zealand's Nick Willis has faded to finish ninth in the men's 1500m final at the Olympics.

Algeria's Taoufik Makhloufi has won gold in a time of 3:34.08.

The pace never suited Willis who was forced to try and keep up with a final lap sprint.

He says it was never going well.

"Technically it worked out really well, I was excited about where I was. I just had nothing. My legs were shot I don't know why, I was just really tired."
