Have they not sorted out the gear issue yet in Irish athletics? How are there still 2 suppliers?

Joma do all the singlets, adidas do the training gear? Seems bizarre

They had this before with Asics. Athletics Ireland had one deal with Asics, and I think Olympics Ireland had a deal with adidas or vice versa. Sonia was fierce put out over it at one Olympics, I think it was Atlanta or Barcelona. Hard believe it could still be going on.

The OCI have/had a deal for the entire team for d’olympics. These outtrump any individual deals with the many organisations under the OCI umbrella

Understood

This isn’t the Olympics however

If the olympic symbol is on it well they must have been left over

Our little AC from home with a third place there.

Another strong Limerick performance

A 14 year old from Oldham just did a 3.56 1500m.

Would Sharlene have a Tipp man coaching her when she’s off racing all the time?

I’m not entirely sure what the story is. I think she was with former Olympian Gary Ryan from up the mountains in Kilcommon for a while perhaps? She credits the former local curate Fr Bobby Fletcher (a Laois native) a lot as he was the absolute driving force behind the club and she’s always praised him

Sarah Lavin smashing it again tonight.

Would possibly have broken Dervla O’Rourkes irish record only for clattering the last.

2nd place and a massive PB. She’s flying at the moment

Qualified for Paris too. I think qualification times limit only started in last week or two…and Glasgow and Rome (I’m not sure what’s in Rome)
