Sarah Lavin and Ciara Neville both bowed out of the European Indoor Athletics Championships at the semi-finals stage today.
Lavin bowed out in the 60m hurdles, while Neville didn't advance to the 60m race final.
Limerick sprinter Neville advanced to the semi-finals after finishing fourth with a time of 7.37 this morning.
But the same time was not enough to see her progress to the final as French sprinter Carolle Zahi won Neville's semi-final in a time of 7.21.
She told RTE afterwards: "I definitely thought I had faster in me. I'm disappointed that I couldn't bring it today, but onwards and upwards.
"I much prefer the 100 - I think the 60 is just a little too short. So I'll definitely work on my acceleration so I can get out of the blocks better and hopefully I can improve my top-end speed from 60 to 100."
Lavin finished fourth in her semi-final, but her time of 8.07 wasn't enough for her to reach the final.
She said: "You want to attack all of the hurdles, but it's been a great championship for me, and a great season.
"I've a lot to be grateful for - 12 months ago I wasn't in this situation. Covid has provided time for my coach and for myself, and often time is money. If there's a year to put everything as number one priority, it's this year.
"I'm giving it everything I have. I'm disappointed, of course, to not even go 1/100th of a second quicker than yesterday, but it's been a good championship and there are a lot of work ons."
Meanwhile, Molly Scott and Joan Healy were unable to advance to the semi-finals as Scott missed out by one hundredth of a second when finishing seventh in her heat, while Healy finished eighth in her race.
Sean Tobin competes in the 3,000m final later this afternoon.
