Best part of that is where she says her coach told her to run the first 200m in 23 seconds and she says she hasn’t a notion what that is

English wins his heat.
Strong run from English there to win his heat. Controlled the race.
Ballsy from English going for that gap. Brimming full of confidence. Fair play to him

Fitzsimons run out of it after being in a great position. Good experience for him.
He got beaten up on the turn for home after trying to hit the front
You’d have to say the coach doesnt come out of that very well mind you!

She ran it in 23.94. Her coach was right. She’d have got the silver

Didn’t have the legs I thought
She said in her interview that she saw on the big screen that she was medalling and that got into her head. Then tightened up.
Great experience for her, only 19.

Big Irish head on Shanahan here. They are throwing elbows
Third 
Well done Louise Shanahan
Irish elbows good enough to qualify from the heats of the women’s 800 metres.
Getting to the front seems to be very important in the 800m, she was really boxed in by your one in front, and had the ones behind boxed in herself
You have to be aggressive in it
The fuck was wrong with that Pole Vaulter chap there?
800m running is a contact sport.
