For Valencia? I just had a look and based on this years information they have 30’000 places with incremental increases in prices as it fills up. Registration isn’t open yet but should be before Christmas if same for next year. It was €60 for first 10k entries this year

He doesn’t factor in the “living the dream” boost that Paddy/Patricia gets out in Oz

Counts for a lot, especially at that age

European Cross country on this morning. Starting on the link below now and on RTE later.

What time?

I think under 20 race is on now but that link redirects me to RTE player and not working. McElhinney on about 9.30 in the U23.

how did Dean Casey get on

3rd and they got team silver. Stream is working now. Irish girl has a medal chance here now in the under 20s. Front 2 well ahead.

It’s been said many times before but Nick Griggs is some talent

They’re all some talent. Ireland has remarkable sporting talent across the board.

Did you see the finish? He had it more or less won and stumbled in the last 100m.

Just watching replays of it and of his interview. He sounds absolutely gutted yet incredibly mature about it

3rd place medal for men’s U23’s. Brilliant running from them all. Gidey got 4th on the line but a good bit behind 3rd

He was beaten fair and square to be fair to the British lad, the stumble only cost him a couple of yards I’d say

McElhinney went from looking comfortable in lead group at half way to being completely gone in a matter of strides. Very disappointing day for him.

Just had nothing left alright, didn’t realise he was still 17. Has plenty of years to win it.

This is well worth a listen. I’d listen to David Gillick and Ciara Mageean talking all day long. Something refreshingly honest and authentic about them both. No airs or graces or bullshit.
