Not even a spike to the face would deny gritty Kiwi steeplechaser Geordie Beamish a place in the final at the World Athletics Championships in Tokyo on Saturday (13 September):

> The former world indoor champion produced a phenomenal fightback from a crash with one lap to go to earn his place in the final of Monday’s men’s 3000m steeplechase final.

> The 28-year-old Beamish took a tumble over a barrier on the final lap of the second heat. Canada's Jean-Simon Desgagnés went down with him. A photo later shows how his running shoe is making contact with Beamish's face.

> But the tenacious Beamish dusted himself up and recovered his dignity by working his way back into contention. The New Zealand athlete produced a stunning kick to cross the finish line in second place to book his place in the final. Only the top five finishers in the three heats qualify for the final.

> Beamish revealed to reporters after the race that everything happened so quickly that there was "no thinking, just doing". He suffered only "a couple of scratches", nothing serious.

> Desgagnés did not advance to the final on place but race officials awarded him a spot later on.
