Sadly, Sophie Becker and Cliodhna Manning finished third and fifth respectively in their heats and missed out on a place in the respective semi-finals.
However, Becker will return to action this weekend with the Irish relay team.
Joan Healy finished fifth in her 60 metres heat and didn't progress to the semi finals.
Kate O'Connor is currently 8th after three events of the pentathlon.
